Project Manager

In brief

**Overview** This Senior Project Manager role at Omnia, specifically within BME, is responsible for delivering critical business projects that impact operational performance and strategic outcomes, including the deployment and roll-out of new technology and/or software. The role primarily operates in environments where accountability may be diffused or unclear, teams are capable but not naturally goal-driven, and functional leadership can be inconsistent. The Project Manager is expected to create momentum, clarity, and ownership to ensure projects progress from intent to execution and deliver tangible outcomes. **What you will do** * Take full accountability for end-to-end delivery of assigned BME projects, from initiation through to closure. * Convert broad or poorly defined objectives into clear scope, milestones, deliverables, and success measures. * Establish realistic project plans, governance rhythms, and reporting that support delivery rather than bureaucracy. * Actively manage risks, dependencies, and constraints in environments with limited escalation paths. * Ensure projects achieve practical business outcomes, not just task completion. * Operate effectively in teams that are not naturally goal-orientated or delivery-driven. * Proactively create clarity around roles, expectations, and ownership without relying on positional authority. * Identify gaps in accountability and close them through facilitation, structure, and persistence. * Coach and support team members to move from passive participation to active ownership. * Maintain progress and delivery discipline even when teams lack strong internal leadership. * Act as the central point of coordination and communication for assigned projects. * Provide clear, concise, and honest updates on progress, risks, and decisions required. * Manage expectations effectively in environments where priorities frequently shift. * Escalate issues constructively, with solutions and options rather than problems alone. * Lead delivery across multiple functions, teams, and stakeholders with differing priorities and incentives. * Build working relationships across BME and adjacent functions to enable cooperation and decision-making. * Navigate organisational complexity and ambiguity with a pragmatic, solution-focused approach. * Align stakeholders around shared outcomes where formal alignment mechanisms are weak or absent. * Introduce fit-for-purpose delivery practices appropriate to the scale and complexity of each project. * Ensure lessons learned are captured and applied to future work. * Maintain a strong bias toward action, progress, and outcomes over process for its own sake. **Requirements (from the original advert)** * **Qualifications:** * Relevant tertiary qualification in Business, Engineering, IT, or a related field. * Demonstrated practical experience will be weighted more heavily than certification. * **Certifications:** * Formal Project Management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, Agile) is advantageous but not mandatory. * **Experience:** * Extensive experience managing projects in complex, ambiguous organisational environments. * Proven ability to deliver where teams lack maturity in ownership, accountability, or goal orientation. * Strong influencing skills, with the ability to lead without formal authority. * High emotional intelligence and resilience when dealing with resistance, inertia, or ambiguity. * Practical, hands-on delivery capability rather than reliance on formal methodologies alone. * Confidence working across multiple functions where leadership strength varies significantly. * **Advantageous Experience:** * Modern digital or technology-enabled transformation initiatives. * Process improvement or operational change projects. * Working alongside IT, data, or digital teams in delivery environments. * Understanding of maintenance-, asset management processes within the mining sector. * **Key Competencies:** * Business Process maps, process interactions and dependencies, etc. * IT processes. * A more detailed understanding of D365 workflows, datasets and other capabilities, is beneficial to the role. * Strong stakeholder management capability. * Working with various roles, across function and at various levels. * Firm understanding of Project Management tooling, processes and reporting standards. **Who should apply** This role is ideal for a seasoned Project Manager who thrives in challenging environments where accountability might be diffused, teams are delivery-capable but not naturally goal-driven, and strong functional leadership is inconsistent. The successful candidate will possess strong influencing skills, high emotional intelligence, and resilience, capable of leading without formal authority and creating momentum, clarity, and ownership. They should have a practical, hands-on delivery capability and confidence in working across multiple functions with varying leadership strengths, focusing on practical business outcomes over process for its own sake. **Deadline** Not specified **Reference** Original posting: https://www.myjobmag.co.za/job/project-manager-omnia-pty-ltd Source: myjobmag
