• Track tasks and milestones and follow up with team members on deadlines.

• Coordinate resources, including materials and manpower, with Procurement and HR.
• Compile project reports and KPIs, and support risk, issue and quality processes.
• Keep communication flowing between project teams, clients and stakeholders.

• A good working knowledge of MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and project management tools.
• An understanding of project management basics and terminology.
