Project Manager

Huxley Associates is currently recruiting for an experienced customer facing Project Manager from a manufacturing background for an initial 3 month contract with a client in the Merseyside area. The role will pay £30 an hour.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing multiple projects at any one time of varying size, stage & complexity, the Project Manager should have experience of managing project budgets, ranging from £25,000 up to £multi-million and have experience of working / contending with external factors (Ie customers changing project delivery dates etc).

The Project Manager must be an individual who will take ownership of their project and work with the customer to ensure that the projects are delivered to agreed time, cost & quality.

This role requires someone who can actively realise when a project is falling behind schedule / deadline, can take stock of the situation and then do what is necessary to bring the project back on track.

In addition, the Project Manager should be able to comprehend what any delay on a project will entail to the customer and needs to be aware of the "bigger picture" to the customer that a delay in delivery could have.

This isn't simply a "Project Manager" role - It requires someone who can motivate staff within the project team and drive projects forward, not merely facilitate the project lifecycle and needs someone who is confident, articulate and effective communicator, who can work with stakeholders on both an internal & external basis to influence & motivate people and drive projects forward.
