Project Management Jobs

What does a project manager role involve?

Project managers are responsible for securing, coordinating, implementing and tracking company-wide projects. To work as a project manager in this industry, you will need to have a very strong understanding of engineering to prepare detailed project scopes and schedules, and ensure work is implemented according to engineering and technical standards, policies and procedures.

You’ll also need to apply your knowledge and expertise to embrace safety on-site and employ proper business and environmental ethics.

The typical responsibilities of a project manager might involve:

• Developing detailed implementation plans
• Implementing forecasting, planning, scheduling and dispatching processes
• Working with various internal teams to develop plans
• Evaluating survey results
• Coordinating project activities
• Ensuring the provision of necessary resources
• Conducting audits
• Ensuring performance targets are met

What qualifications and skills will I need?

Project manager roles tend to require engineering, civil, chemical or mechanical experience and a degree in the relevant discipline.

In addition to this, you may be required some level of training in project management itself. Common certification and qualification frameworks include:

• Project Management Professional (PMP) - a certification awarded by the US-based Project Management Institute. PMP is recognised worldwide but best known in North America.
• PRINCE2 (Projects in Controlled Environments) - similar to PMP, PRINCE2 is an internationally recognised project management framework and highly sought after by employers in Europe, Australia.
• Association of Project Management (APM) - a set of qualifications developed by the UK chartered body of project management.

Many energy industry employers will also expect you to have also significant experience in a project management role and a working knowledge of labour relations, and experience in working with systems and processes.
