Job Description-

Position Summary

The Project Manager delivers medium and standard-complexity projects — day-to-day planning, execution, control, reporting and closure — using the client''s lifecycle, templates and governance. This role is focused on strong delivery-management capability: running projects well, maintaining controls, reporting accurately and escalating proactively across a concurrent workload.

Required Qualifications

•            5–10 years managing IT and/or capital projects in a structured, governed environment.

•            Demonstrated ability to run multiple projects concurrently.

•            Solid waterfall delivery; hybrid/agile exposure; lifecycle and system-upgrade projects.

•            Strong RAID, schedule and change-control discipline.

•            Clear written and verbal reporting.

Preferred Qualifications

•            Utility-industry project delivery preferred.

•            Professional Services (PS) delivery experience preferred.

•            Vendor-delivered implementation, modernization and enterprise-system experience.

Experience Requirements

5–10 years of hands-on project delivery, with evidence of managing several concurrent projects to successful completion.

Certifications

PMP (PMI) strongly preferred, or equivalent globally recognized certification; CAPM or equivalent considered for the lower end of the band.

Technical Skills

•            PPM / project scheduling tools and RAID/artifact management.

•            Status and portfolio reporting; document and repository management.

•            Change-control and forecast tooling.

Soft Skills

•            Organized, detail-oriented and dependable.

•            Clear communicator with stakeholders and teams.

•            Proactive problem-solver with sound escalation instincts.

•            Collaborative team player.

Key Responsibilities

•            Manage assigned projects end-to-end: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, control and closure within the client''s lifecycle.

•            Maintain project controls — schedules, baselines, milestones, RAID logs and dependencies.

•            Prepare governance materials — status reports, gate submissions, change requests and forecast inputs to client standards.

•            Manage stakeholders — project owners, delivery teams and vendors; run project-level governance.

•            Support portfolio reporting — provide timely, accurate data into the single portfolio dataset.

•            Escalate proactively — raise risks and issues on threshold rather than at the next reporting cycle.
