Resource Management Support Recruitment

The Resource Management Administrator provides a supporting role to the Project Resource Manager, a role normally found in two different types of project environments. 

The first, within a professional services or consultancy organisation where the whole business remit is providing project management for end (external) clients.

These organisations will use the Project Resource Manager and the supporting team, to manage the organisation's resources - the consultant project managers and project teams who deliver the projects.

Due to the sheer number of resources to be managed a dedicated resource management team is required to determine who is assigned to which project, which skill sets are available in the "resource pool", and who is currently "sitting on the bench". The Resource Management Administrator / Co-ordinator will be providing essential support to the resource manager.

The second requirement for a dedicated resource management  administrator role is within a  large programme or project which may be resource intensive and needs a dedicated administrator to ensure the team's administration is taken care of.

In this instance, the Resource Administrator may be responsible for ensuring travel arrangements are managed (especially if the project delivery is taking place off site), supporting the timesheet process (chasing down inputs due to reporting deadlines) and assisting in the performance appraisal process.
