  • Risk and Issue Management
    • Monitor project risks and potential issues; escalate as necessary.
    • Assist in implementing mitigation strategies to prevent delays and cost overruns.
    • Support in tracking project deviations and providing solutions for realignment.
  • Budget and Financial Tracking
    • Assist with financial management tasks, such as tracking expenses against the budget.
    • Monitor project expenditures, process invoices, and help with project financial reporting.
  • Quality Control and Compliance

Qualifications and Requirements:

Education: Bachelor's degree in civil engineering, Project Management, or a related field.

  • A minimum of 5 years of experience in project management, ideally within infrastructure, architecture, engineering, or construction sectors.
  • Technical Skills:
  • Proficiency in MS Project, Primavera P6, or other project scheduling software.
  • Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit, or similar design and engineering tools is a plus.
