If you are highly motivated and enthusiastic, then we want to hear from you. We offer great benefits and opportunities for personal development. What are you waiting for?
POST: TECHNICAL PROJECT MANAGER (1 x 12 mth FTC, 1 x 6mth FTC)
SALARY: £35,121 - £37,821
BASED: Newby Wiske
Due to a large amount of IT related work resulting from infrastructure improvement projects and the delivery of other technology bias strategic projects, an opportunity now exists within the Information Systems Department for two fixed term contract Technical Project Managers who will each lead teams of technicians/programmers/engineers, and so help the organisation achieve its strategic aims.
As a result of the immediate demands arising from the implementation of the above projects, applicants will be required to evidence detailed and demonstrable knowledge of previously held appointments within the technician / programmer / engineer role area and within complex multi-platform environments. Additionally, you must have extensive experience of being responsible for the direct delivery of work associated with the delivery of technology bias projects, by evidencing your involvement at either project engineer, project leader or project manager capacity.
A natural problem solver, responsible for the delivery of a variety of technology infrastructure projects at any one time, you will be able to apply your extensive technology knowledge and understanding within a challenging technology context that will deliver quality and innovative solutions to significantly drive operational performance improvements. You will be expected to anticipate issues that may arise and through excellent stakeholder management skills, pro-actively seek out solutions to address issues and overcome barriers, encouraging those within your project teams to do the same.
You will use your combination of business and technological knowledge to understand NYP’s technological problems and opportunities and to dissect proposed supplier technology solutions to ensure that the most appropriate business and technical solution is identified and implemented, and also, that any solution is aligned with agreed technology strategies, thereby avoiding, as far as is possible, wasted investment.
Due to the very technical nature of the projects you will be tasked with delivering, in addition to the minimal level of work experiences stated above, you must:
• be educated to at least HNC level in a Computing/Software/Technology related subject
or
• as a measure of your theoretical but mainstream IT knowledge, have achieved one or more proprietary qualifications from either Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, HP or Sun; for example, as a minimum possess Microsoft MCSE/MCSA/MCSD certification or as a minimum possess Cisco CCNA certification, etc.
