Project Manager

Project Manager: Logistics Distribution - £600 per day plus Expenses, Nationally based.

Outline

Our client is a leading parcel distribution organisation that has a highly successful domestic and international operation. Due to recent contract wins and internal recommendations, there have been a series of business changes to assist our client in providing a clear and measurable level of service for both their new and existing clients.

With large investments in IT, engineering, operations and customer service, a project manager is now required to join the existing in-house team and undertake a business case review centred on data entry and imaging devices, such as hand-held PDA and scanning devices.

The Role

You will be responsible for conducting from scratch a business case for the review and potential installation of new hand-held data scanners and also the transmission, scanning and storage software and devices. Working across the country with potentially over 1000 couriers and delivery staff, you will undertake a day-to-day review of existing data entry and storage equipment and conduct a market feasibility study for our client to advise whether their existing technology is sufficient or whether new software and hardware is required to be rolled out on a national basis.

Should the outcome of the business case require a total rollout of new hand-held scanning software and hardware, you will be charged with defining a strategy and implementing the change across the organisation.

The candidate will be working with inter-functional teams ranging from operations, IT, sales, credit control, billing and engineering and therefore, you must have previous experience of working in roles which have required cross role dependence.

The Candidate

Prince2 qualified, the successful candidate will have worked on several previous assignments, ideally in a distribution / logistics based environment. You must have led a project from initiation to implementation, covering the defining of the strategy, project plan and outline, and then the delivery of the change.

You must have both excellent communication key stakeholder management skills as this role reports to a board-level director. The project will ultimately deliver multi-million pound financial benefits for the client from a potential upgrade to the machinery and therefore you must have a track record of successful change.

This is a highly technical role and preference will be given to candidates with experience of project managing the rollout of hand-held terminals / PDA’s and related hardware / software.
