Project Manager

• Location: Brisbane, Queensland
• Type: Contract
• Job #16334

About the role

Our state government client is looking for a Project Manager with experience managing spatial or IT projects.
The Department is going to be replacing a critical spatial system (two long running public facing mapping applications that are approaching the end of their life cycle after a decade in operation). We are looking to bring on a Project Manager part-time to oversee the project and ensure the vendor is meeting milestones. 

• For this project, spatial services will be able to fill in some of gaps in spatial expertise. What we do need, however, is a specialist Project Manager, as this is a high value project for the department with many internal and external stakeholder, and system dependencies.
• There may be some elements of Change Management required by the Project Manager towards the end of the project as we transition from the old system.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and oversee the replacement of critical spatial systems.
• Monitor project schedule, budget, scope, and deliverables.
• Ensure the project is on track and within defined parameters.
• Collaborate with the vendor to establish and track milestones.
• Address and resolve issues with the vendor.
• Ensure contractual obligations are met.
• Engage with internal and external stakeholders.
• Communicate project progress, issues, and changes.
• Manage stakeholder expectations and align with project goals.
• Utilize spatial services to enhance project outcomes.
• Fill gaps in spatial expertise as needed.
• Identify and mitigate potential risks.
• Proactively address issues impacting project success.
• Implement change management strategies, especially towards project completion.
• Facilitate the transition from the old to the new system.
• Efficiently manage project tasks within the allocated part-time commitment.
• Ensure delivered spatial systems meet quality standards and departmental requirements.
