On larger projects you will work with one or more of your team mates to deliver the project.

Support and help your engineers.
Build fantastic relationships with your customers.
Communicate and coordinate.
Manage the contract and minimise risks.
Help your engineers to develop and grow.
To be successful as a Project Manager you will need a good understanding of PLC and SCADA systems and will probably have had hands on experience of programming these.
If you are currently a PLC and SCADA engineer but think you would make a great project manager then please do get in contact. If you have the right natural strengths you will rapidly become a great project manager.
Previous experience in the Water industry is desirable but not essential.
