Senior Project Manager / Operations Manager
Equity Management Services / Ems Telecoms
Johannesburg Area, South Africa
EMS Telecoms is a small contracting company doing FTTH (Fibre-To-The-Home) infrastructure projects for their main client Vumatel. After EMS approached me to join their team, my first priority was setting up a Project management office, which included initiating and implementing new process for communication platforms, procurement, health and safety as well as project programming to ensure deadlines are met and quality upheld. My role included coordinating optic fibre network roll out projects from planning, initiating through to handover. I was involved in stakeholder management and maintaining good business relationships with key clients, engaging new clients and negotiating new contracts.We grew the company to be one of 3 preferred civil optic fibre infrastructure installations companies in the country. I was leading a team of 10 permanent staff and 18 sub-contractors with an average of 30 team members each.
