Infrastructure Project Manager

Description

Our customer is looking for a seasoned IT Infrastructure PM to ideally start asap in January as a project kicks off to deploy Starlink hardware (and sunset the current Verizon hardware) to 133 sites (vessels). They have 133 ships that navigate internal US waterways delivering raw materials such as steel, wheat, coal and iron ore. They have Verizon hardware on each of their vessels to run the technology needed to run the various systems of the ships as well as CRM and communication systems.

They are upgrading the Verizon hardware on all of these ships to Starlink hardware. They need a strong project manager to manage the project timelines, have strong stakeholder engagement and deliver this key initiative for the organization. In addition there are several other large infrastructure projects that are necessary due to upcoming regulatory requirements that this person will help support. There is opportunity for this to be a 12-18 month role with possibility of extension.

Here are some details provided by the customer:

--This person needs to have some demonstrated success under their belt.

--This person needs to know their way around Microsoft Project.

--This person needs to know how to deliver a 30,000' view status report even though they will be working in the weeds (fly high AND fly low).

--This person cannot be afraid to guide people through tasks and deadlines, while holding people accountable and chasing.

--This person needs to have infrastructure and / or hardware experience and cannot be ONLY a software or strategic PM.

--This person should have at least some cutover experience where something was turned off and something else was turned on (rather than a strict new build, since these sites are currently producing).

--This person shouldn't just hang out behind Teams or Email...phone use and the occasional drive-by will likely be necessary.

--Would be nice to have someone who has elicited requirements and / or done some light negotiation, but we won't consider this a deal-breaker.

--Likely they will not have to travel to or board vessels, but perhaps someone not opposed to an occasional site visit wouldn't hurt (also not a deal-breaker).

--Likely can't go full remote but will entertain more remote flexibility for a stand-out candidate.
