Job description

What you will do

You will join the traffic safety technology team within a Belgian public-sector organisation as project manager for a device management initiative. Your main responsibility is to lead the scoping, planning, execution and budgetary follow-up of this project, which focuses on managing speed enforcement equipment within a broader sensor ecosystem.

Your core tasks include:

• Establishing and managing project scope, planning, milestones and deliverables based on validated parameters
• Identifying tasks, dependencies and risks, and developing and monitoring mitigation measures
• Steering business analyst(s) on shared topics
• Reporting project progress to stakeholders: status, issues, bottlenecks, risks and proposed alternatives or mitigations, maintaining a decision log
• Contributing to the implementation of transversal processes and documentation to ensure seamless collaboration with the operational organisation
• Guiding the setup of a monitoring tool
• Setting up and maintaining quality management plans to ensure project results meet required standards
• Implementing and using project management and documentation tools (including JIRA and Confluence) for follow-up and knowledge sharing
• Managing stakeholder relationships with internal and external partners to ensure project success

You will also provide support for the broader programme management organisation: assisting with demand management processes, strategic reporting, defining best practices and internal processes, and handover to the operational team. Where needed, you will support change management and training trajectories for users.

You will work within a multidisciplinary team of internal and external colleagues, creating a clear project structure and collaborating closely with business analysts. You approach information critically and constructively to map all elements and define an action plan to evolve from the current to the target state. You coordinate actions towards different stakeholders and facilitate communication from a change management perspective, preparing the necessary communication plans.

You ensure that planned timings and budgets are respected so the project can be delivered on time. Where necessary, you adjust planning and communicate clearly and transparently, providing the required reporting. After implementation, you remain available for the hypercare phase.

What we are looking for

• At least 10 years of hands-on experience in managing IT-technical projects
• Experience with project follow-up and knowledge management systems (JIRA, Confluence)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Native-level Dutch or French, with strong passive knowledge of the other language
• Active knowledge of English

You work proactively, are results-oriented and structured. You take initiative, are a self-starter with a critical eye, and work in a planned manner. You set clear goals (KPIs) and underpin your proposals and decisions with facts and data.

You have excellent communication skills, both written and spoken. You can actively listen, ask the right questions and formulate complex ideas clearly. You are able to steer and align different stakeholders on content.

Discretion and reliability are essential, as you will have access to sensitive information.

We are also looking for confirmed-level experience in:

• Budget and planning management
• Change management
• Working in the public sector
• Risk and quality management
• Stakeholder management
• Vendor and supplier management
• Vision and roadmap development
