Is it you we've been looking for?

Use your superb communication skills and knack for getting things done to contribute to a wealth of IT projects for our clients across the UK. Dorset Software is currently recruiting confident and astute STEM graduates to help smooth project delivery that's up to scratch with our clients’ high expectations.

We create and maintain bespoke IT systems for a range of clients spanning multiple industries. Our Project Managers are vital in ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget, and that everyone knows what they need to do to achieve the project goals.

A day in the life of you…

After the comprehensive on-the-job training you’re given in the first few months, you’ll work either in-house or at client sites across the UK delivering exceptional service and taking responsibility for delivering projects on time and to budget:

A snapshot of a typical day may look a little like this:

  • Gaining a meaningful commercial understanding of what the project stakeholder wants to achieve
  • Guiding, advising, and managing the various technical members of your team
  • Effectively managing resources to deliver projects on schedule and in line with the client's expectations
  • Communicating progress reports to stakeholders
  • Producing accurate reports on project progress and risks
  • Managing all project risks and taking actions to mitigate and minimise them

Learning the ropes

During your training, you’ll be shadowing other members of the team to get some valuable on-the-job training. For the first few months you’ll be largely based in our office in Poole, sometimes attending client sites with more senior colleagues. Here’s what you can expect:

  • A designated mentor to help you through training
  • Training and exploration of Microsoft Project

  • Extensive training in Dorset Software methodology and quality procedures
  • A friendly culture with like-minded colleagues

Now you know about the role…
