Role Description

Our client, a global technology firm, is seeking two Project Managers to join its team on a one-year contract.

• Operating system (OS) upgrades: coordinate assessment, compatibility checks, testing, rollout and post-upgrade validation.
• Server upgrades: manage upgrade planning, dependencies, implementation windows and service validation.
• Server decommissioning: coordinate dependency checks, migration readiness, shutdown approvals, secure data handling and asset-record updates.
• Network-device firmware upgrades: coordinate version readiness, change approvals, deployment, rollback preparedness and post-change checks.
• Define project scope, objectives, asset coverage, dependencies and acceptance criteria with business stakeholders and technical teams.
• Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, milestones and resource requirements for OS upgrades, server upgrades, server decommissioning and firmware upgrades.
• Coordinate infrastructure, network, application, security and operations teams, as applicable, together with vendors and other delivery partners.
• Maintain risk, issue, dependency and change logs; assess business impacts and escalate blockers or decisions promptly.
• Coordinate change-control approvals, maintenance windows, outage communications, readiness reviews and tested rollback arrangements with technical owners.
• Track implementation and testing, coordinate resolution of post-change issues, and obtain acceptance from the relevant technical and business owners.
• Ensure server decommissioning is supported by dependency checks, migration confirmation, shutdown approval and evidence of secure data handling in line with applicable policies.
• Report progress, milestone performance, risks and decisions required; maintain delivery records and coordinate operational handover, lessons learned and project closure.
