Senior Project Manager

YOUR PROJECT IS TO manage TIME, COST, RESOURCES AND quality.

The Opportunity

Like Dilbert, do you find yourself sitting in your cubicle thinking, “I need to think ‘outside the box”?  Do you love having overall responsibility for the successful initiation, planning, developing, execution, monitoring, controlling and closure of a project?  If so, this may just be the role you were meant for. You also have a whole lot of experience and proof to show that you know how to get things done and how to motivate staff to help you do it. When it comes to working with a team, you’re the whole package – team player, supportive coach and always the enthusiastic cheerleader. As a Senior Project Manager, you will assist or lead the process to identify and document business goals and objectives as part of the initiation phase for a business case and develop a project to finalize scope, schedule, and resources. To put it simply, you are the champion of a project.
