Project Manager

Job description

Cetix is an independent systems integrator and, as such, has the flexibility and drive to find the optimal solution to any challenge.

We pride ourselves on delivering software, hardware and turnkey engineered solutions to a range of clients including blue-chip customers. We have ambitious plans, and our vision is to offer all our clients the very best technology and system solutions to meet the most challenging process, safety system and support requirements. We offer a complete project lifecycle service, from initial design concept and specification through to software and hardware delivery, commissioning, and support and maintenance.

We are looking for a diligent, experienced Project Manager with a sound understanding of SCADA and PLC control systems to join our team. The successful candidate will come from a controls or engineering background, as the role involves acting as a technical authority on the projects they manage. TÜV Functional Safety Certification (IEC 61508 / IEC 61511) is not essential but would be a significant advantage.

Duties/objectives

• Management of identified projects
• Manage allocated company resources to safely meet the demands of projects for which you are responsible.
• Ensure that all contracted project liabilities, obligations and rights are understood and controlled.
• Ensure that all supplied designs, documents, software, panels, services and other deliverables are fit for purpose and reflect well on the company.
• Ensure that project costs and scope – and variation pricing – are well controlled so that company profits are optimised.
• Manage customer expectations so that project change and its impacts are recognised early.
• Build customer confidence and satisfaction so that the company is best placed to win extension business.
• Prepare, maintain and communicate project programmes to ensure that delivery timescales can be achieved – or customer delay properly reflected.
• Manage revenues and expenditures to ensure that cash usage / generation is better than or equal to forecast.
• Ensure that project risks are understood, identified and managed.
• Work with the Operations Manager to allocate engineering resources, and to support staff development.
• Ensure project and team compliance with:
  • Legal obligations, and all other regulatory or contracted customer requirements, including safety.
  • Internal health, safety, environmental and quality control requirements.
  • Internal financial controls and approvals.
• Provide required information to accounts and management in a timely and accurate manner.
• Ensure that all financial transactions are carried out and recorded promptly, accurately and consistently.

Whilst an experienced project manager would be preferred, we would also consider a less experienced candidate provided they have some relevant project management experience.
