Your Company:
The team at NET Recruit are partnering with a client who is searching for an experienced Project Manager to operate across the Southern Region. The business itself offers financial services and is embarking on a mission to ensure that communities across the nation have access to money in a sustainable manner, by setting up banking services in hub and pop-up form, within these communities and partnering with national banks to gain representation for their services offered, enabling members of the public to access this when they need to.

This will role will oversee the design and implementation of the businesses' more temporary and 'pop-up' hubs, to provide communities where longer term solutions are more difficult to implement, a solution for a period of time. As such this role will be varied, undertaking multiple projects and moving on from completed ones swiftly. There will be a strong reliance on the Project Manager to effectively forecast and budget costs and ensure that the projects operate within these guidelines and timescales, providing adequate reporting throughout to senior management.

There will be the expectation to travel to sites in the area and across the UK, and this could be relatively frequent, depending on the needs of the business and where planned projects are due to commence.

Any applicant MUST be happy to travel as it is needed of them.

Role and Responsibilities
While in this position your duties may include but are not limited to:
  • Heading up the planning and implementation of projects within expected timescales and budgets
  • Creating plans for projects with suppliers and identifying critical paths and ensuring these are managed effectively throughout the project
  • Providing ongoing operational support to the hubs while they are operating, ensuring that they are working smoothly
  • Developing and maintaining strong business working relationships with suppliers and project partners, including partnering financial services businesses that are involved in the initiative, to ensure that tasks are carried out efficiently and that partner requirements are taken on board
  • Working alongside the financial team to provide financial reports and budgets, planning forecasts and measuring actual costs against these
  • Decomissioning the sites once the requirement for the temporary hub is redundant

What You Will Need To Apply:
The business is searching for experienced project managers to apply for this role, with strong resource and people management skills, excellent communication abilities and a high level of attention to detail. This particular role is accepting candidates from a more general project management background, and not construction, and the business is seeking applicants from the banking industry as well. It would also be useful for the candidate to have a good financial or commercial acumen, in order to understand and manage budgets well. Experience in delivering community projects is also desired.

What You Will Get In Return:
The company are offering a competitive salary dependent on previous experience and knowledge for this role and have stated that this will accompany a peripheral package including an excellent pension offering, of 15% employer contribution, above market average holiday allowance, life and medical insurance cover and a strong bonus scheme to supplement the financial package.

Additionally, there will be an exciting workload at all times, whereupon multiple projects will be investigated and there will be ample opportunities for development of skills and knowledge, leading to the expansion of the role, internal growth and career opportunities.
