Project Manager Salary:$25000 - $55000 As the name suggests project officers generally manage specific projects within an organisation, from the planning stage through to completion. They employ other individuals in the organisation to take on various tasks associated with the project and coordinate their efforts. Project managers in the minerals and energy industry may perform the following tasks: Research and analyse data relevant to the project in question. Devise a plan of action for taking the project to completion. Coordinate people involved in the project to work to plan and a timeline. Submit progress reports to management. Track progress on databases and spreadsheets. Rubin Pajoohan Fartak International Engineering co. www.irannovation.com
