Junior Project Manager

Role Summary

We are looking for a Junior Project Manager to join our Project Management Team with a focus on running externally facing projects and contracts. These projects typically require a blend of existing in-house hardware/software product capability combined with product development and often further bespoke engineering work to create a turn-key end to end solution. Accomplishing this while maintaining our high standards of technical quality and speed is a challenging task and will require a high performance individual with strong attention to detail, tenacity and patience.

Responsibilities

• Maintain regular communication with both customers and employees over multiple projects.
• Monitor and govern project deliverables, deadlines and scope, presenting these on stakeholder update calls and in regular update reports.
• Identify and manage project risks and problems.
• Host, lead and control meetings, both internal and external.
• Support the commercial team at pre-sales or bid stage.
• Assist with managing key supplier relationships.
• Interact with technical teams and help troubleshoot challenges to ensure deadlines blockers can be removed and deadlines are met.

Personal Qualities and Experience 

• Analytical mindset with excellent attention to detail.
• Highly self-motivated and self-organised.
• Excellent verbal, written communication and presentation skills.
• Experience in the use of Microsoft Office and equivalent tools (Experience with MS Project is desirable, but not essential).
• Rail or similar industry experience ideal.
• Pragmatic and focused on the business outcome.
• Project Management qualification to a foundation level, although this can be done in job for the right candidate.
