You’ll manage end‑to‑end delivery across multiple technology workstreams — including cabling, VOIP, unified communications, CCTV, server rollouts, and security projects — ensuring plans are robust, risks are owned, budgets are controlled, and teams execute to standard. You’ll report to the COO and step in quickly, with an ASAP start. This opportunity is based at the Gauteng Head Office and offers a salary bracket of R60 000 (negotiable). Applications close on Friday, 14 November 2025.

Our client is a South African unified communications provider delivering enterprise‑grade connectivity and collaboration solutions nationwide. You’ll join a delivery‑focused department that partners closely with customers and suppliers to land visible results.

What You’ll Do

• Own project planning and delivery, aligning milestones, dependencies, and scope.
• Proactively manage risks and issues, escalating and resolving early.
• Control budgets and costs; track spend vs. plan.
• Lead and support a multidisciplinary project team.
• Drive quality and process adherence across all workstreams.
• Report effectively and manage stakeholders at all levels.

What You Bring

• Senior Certificate and Project Management certification.
• PMBOK or PRINCE2 and Agile — non‑negotiable.
• 5+ years managing technology projects across cabling, VOIP, UC, CCTV, server rollout, and security.
• Strong Microsoft Office skills (intermediate+), with solid Excel.
• Proven facilitation, communication, and stakeholder engagement; highly organised, analytical, accurate, and deadline‑driven.
• Composed under pressure; honest, reliable, solution‑driven team player.

What Success Looks Like

• Projects land on time, within scope and budget, with measurable quality outcomes.
• Risks are anticipated and mitigated; issues are resolved quickly with clear communication.
• Stakeholders are informed, engaged, and satisfied through concise reporting.
• Teams feel supported, clear on priorities, and confident in delivery.
