Senior Project Manager in Melbourne

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our team to help IPTel continue to deliver outstanding results for our clients. IPTel Solutions delivers networking professional services to build corporate computer networks. We are a Cisco Gold partner and we specialise in complex Cisco and Meraki networking projects. To succeed in the role, it will be a major advantage to have Cisco or Meraki experience, be a seasoned PM able to work with multiple projects and have great experience of project management tools.

As a Senior Project Manager your role is to run multiple customer projects, combining our engineering resources with your project management skills and delivering our customers' projects on time and on budget. You'll own the outcomes and be in the driving seat of delivering great projects for our wide and varied customer base:

• Managing projects from inception to delivery
• Project reporting
• Ensuring on time, on budget project delivery
• Managing a team of engineers to deliver projects
• Customer liaison to manage projects, expectations and deliverables
• Final checks on reports prior to sending out
• Organisation of resources to arrange for equipment and personnel to attend site
• Dealing with faults, issues and escalations
• Managing financial aspects of projects, scope and variations

We are looking for a full time, permanent person to join our team. You must already be resident in Melbourne, with rights to work and live in Australia.

IPTel's mission is to deliver "Network Engineering Excellence" and we need people that this value really resonates with. If you love to deliver outstanding outcomes, then you're the type of person we need:

• You must be highly detail oriented. You have to love details, and can look at reports and deliverables and spot any issues and correct them.
• We use Word, Visio and Excel and you must be an above average user of these tools.
• You must be well versed with MS Project, and be able to produce project plans and Gantt charts. If you've used Smartsheet that would be an advantage.
• We are a technology company, so we are ideally looking for someone with a technical background. Perhaps you were an engineer and you've moved into the PM space, or a PM with a particular enjoyment of technology.
• We work with Cisco and HP Aruba primarily - if you have experience with either manufacturer that would be an advantage.
• If you have experience of wireless (Wi-Fi) technologies, that would be a major advantage.
• We need someone autonomous, who can think for themselves and on their feet. We need someone who is highly accurate and mistakes are few and far between.
• You need to be a hard worker, wanting to achieve results. You need to be able to multitask across projects, tracking lots of details. You need to work to deadlines and under pressure, when required.
• You should be qualified in your chosen stream of PM qualifications.

What's in it for you? Working as part of our delivery team, you'll have access to our pool of engineers to deliver your projects. These come in all shapes and sizes, so you'll have variety of the work, as well as a range of different verticals and customers to work with:

• We are a small team - so for the right person, you would get to see and control the complete lifecycle of a company's projects - from project inception through to delivery.
• We pride ourselves on the highest quality delivery we can achieve - so for the right person, you would work within a team that is reaching higher. Working with motivated and talented engineers, you will be able to deliver projects with the best team available.
• We are growing, so this offers the ability to grow with the company and the role. We need more project management, so the role will develop and grow. You will have a high level of control in your role, and we would look to you to develop it.
• Within our team, you can achieve a high level of satisfaction, delivering well engineered projects for customers requiring just the skills we offer.

Send us your CV, with a cover letter, detailing your suitability for the role - important aspects are:

• Familiarity with Project Management Systems
• How you meet the base criteria of PM qualifications, technical background, detail orientation
• Why you would like to work for IPTel Solutions

You must be already resident in Australia and we can provide an immediate start.
