What does a project manager do?

As a project manager, you lead projects from A to Z. You draw up project plans, divide tasks, monitor progress and are the point of contact for customers, suppliers and internal teams. You ensure that the project is delivered on time, within budget and to your satisfaction. You work closely with departments such as engineering, purchasing, work preparation and production.

Depending on the sector and the type of project, you work in a more technical, process or customer-oriented way. But you are always the one who keeps the overview and ensures results.

Common tasks of a project manager

  • Drawing up project plans, including timeline, resources and budget
  • Leading project teams and aligning responsibilities
  • Monitoring progress, budgets and deadlines
  • Identifying risks and adjusting where necessary
  • Acting as point of contact for customers, suppliers and internal stakeholders
  • Ensuring correct administration and reporting
  • Supervising project meetings and evaluations
  • Delivering projects in accordance with agreements and quality requirements

You continuously switch between operational details and strategic overview, and are able to solve bottlenecks before they become problems.
