Experience with RFPs would be valuable in this project.

This project will go on for at least 2 years.

The right resource would need to have a strong IT background but not necessarily have done any development work themselves. At least 7 years’ experience would be a requirement. This is an engineering group. It would be nice if the candidate had state or government experience but definitely not a requirement.

The Program Manager must ensure that the program is completed on schedule and that the final product meets the business, technical, and established quality requirements. The difference between a PM1, PM2, PM3, and PM4 will depend on the size of the project, and the breadth and scope of the project.
