IT Project Coordinator

SUMMARY:
Keep ICT projects organised, moving and on schedule. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working with technical teams, project managers, clients and other stakeholders — and who is not afraid to follow up when a deadline starts getting ideas of its own.

POSITION INFO:
The position is an office-based role at a well established technology business based in Sandton. The role offers exposure to a variety of technology and business-system projects, with plenty of opportunity to take ownership and grow project management skills. 

Duties / Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate ICT, technical and business-system projects from planning through implementation and handover.
• Support project managers and technical teams with schedules, actions, resources and deliverables.
• Help define project scope and turn requirements into clear, workable plans.
• Track timelines, milestones, budgets and project progress.
• Arrange meetings, activities and resources needed to keep projects moving.
• Follow up with stakeholders and drive outstanding actions to completion.
• Identify risks or delays early and escalate them before they affect key milestones.
• Prepare project updates, reports, presentations and supporting documentation.
• Maintain accurate project records, document control and version management.
• Communicate project requirements clearly across technical teams, clients and other stakeholders.

Requirements

• Around 3–5 years' relevant project coordination or project management experience.
• Experience in an ICT, technology-driven or technical project environment is strongly preferred.
• Comfortable coordinating several projects and priorities at the same time.
• Strong working knowledge of MS Project.
• Good MS Office skills, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
• Strong written and spoken English; Afrikaans would be an advantage.
• Able to work independently, manage pressure and keep deadlines moving.
• Valid Code 8 driver's licence or equivalent.
• Experience in complex technical, industrial or power-related projects would be useful but is not essential.

Education

• Relevant tertiary qualification, ideally in a technical, engineering, ICT or related field.
• A recognised project management certification would be an advantage.

Soft Skills

• Bubbly, energetic and confident.
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail.
• Proactive and comfortable chasing actions and deliverables.
• Strong communicator who can work well with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Able to influence people without relying on formal authority.
• Calm under pressure and comfortable in a fast-paced environment.
• Team-minded, adaptable and keen to keep learning.
• Strong HHS fit: hungry to get things done, humble enough to work well across teams, and smart in judgement and people sense.
