Project Manager Jobs in Kent

Project Manager

A Project Manager plays a crucial role in ensuring a piece of work is delivered to the pre-agreed requirements and timescales. Project Managers need strong communication and organisational skills to work with multiple stakeholders and ensure independent workstreams are managed centrally. Project Managers must report into the Project Sponsors to provide regular updates and reports.

For some Project Manager roles candidates do not necessarily need to have direct experience working within the relevant sector, however for some industries this may be a mandatory requirement where previous knowledge of industry regulations and practices are needed. Experienced Project Managers usually hold an industry-recognised qualification such as PRINCE2, Lean Six Sigma or APMP.
