hire project managers in south africa

In South Africa, project managers move between construction, mining, energy and corporate IT, so ask for experience in your own sector rather than a generic title. Many hold a recognised project management certification, but the better signal is a project delivered on time with contractors they did not choose.

A few questions, one at a time, then pick a time for a free 30-minute strategy call with our team.

What to check when screening

  • Look for projects they led from start to finish, with their size and outcome.
  • Check any project management certification, such as PMP or PRINCE2, as a plus rather than a must.
  • Confirm the planning tools they use, such as MS Project or Primavera.
  • Ask for an example of a status report they sent to a client or sponsor.

Questions to ask in interview

  • Your project is three weeks late. What do you tell the sponsor, and when?
  • How do you keep a supplier who is not part of your team on track?
  • Tell us about a risk you spotted early. What did you do about it?
