As the Project Manager you will plan, execute and close one to four ICT projects in parallel in the Defence environment on behalf of this systems integrator. You will be a charismatic leader who can achieve successful delivery to the client's satisfaction as well as within financial targets, without sacrificing team morale.

Project delivery in the Defence environment necessitates understanding of and adherence to Defence's ITIL processes including change management and allowing for change freezes and reduced change activity periods.

Project delivery in the integrators necessitates adherence to high quality processes including monthly internal progress reviews based on PMBOK methodologies. This is a supportive process to help ensure success for you, the client and the integrator.

As the Project Manager you will plan, execute and close one to four ICT projects in parallel in the Defence environment on behalf of the integrator. You will lead 5-10 team members in the planning and delivery of infrastructure-focused projects in accordance with Defence ITIL processes. You will demonstrate appropriate tailoring of project management processes and tools to suit the project, including management of delivery, risks, issues, schedule, finances and the contract. Primary delivery methodology in use is based on PMBOK, and is typically waterfall, however this can evolve in consultation with the integrators leadership and the client leadership.
