Job description

Location: Sandton
Contract: 12-Month Fixed-Term

Are you a master of schedules, a wrangler of chaos, and a secret spreadsheet ninja? Do you live for timelines, dependencies, and the satisfying click of a project puzzle falling into place? Then step into the cockpit we're looking for a Project Coordinator to help navigate high-impact projects to a smooth and successful landing.

What you will be getting up to:

  • Build and align WBS plans from product backlogs or scopes.
  • Facilitate and gather inputs to develop realistic, achievable project schedules (Waterfall, Agile).
  • Work hand-in-hand with stakeholders to chart clear and compelling flight plans (aka project milestones).
  • Hunt down and fix schedule inconsistencies before they derail the mission.
  • Monitor the critical path and dependencies.
  • Keep everyone in the loop report on deviations, risks, and progress.
  • Sync costs to approved business cases.
  • Keep schedules fresh, relevant, and governance-approved.
  • Manage tools like JIRA, Confluence, SAP, Ariba, and MS Project.

What you will track & tame:

  • Variances from baselines
  • Burn rates, spend forecasts, and resource allocations
  • Scope changes, risks, issues, and contracts
  • User stories, EPICs, and resource access across the Agile universe
  • Actuals vs forecasts

What you bring to the table:

  • MS Project 2010+ Certification
  • Solid project management qualifications
  • Agile training from a recognized institution
  • 3-5 years' experience scheduling projects/programmes
  • Strong Excel, Word, PowerPoint skills

  • Join a collaborative, fast-paced environment in the heart of Sandton
  • Help shape the future of enterprise project delivery
