Overview
Project Manager Jobs in Johannesburg Metropolitan Area at MCE SOLUTIONS
Title: Project Manager
Company: MCE SOLUTIONS
Location: Johannesburg Metropolitan Area
We're hiring a Project Manager to join our team.
MCE Solutions is a growing IT managed services and Salesforce CRM consulting firm with offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town. We serve mid-market organisations across South Africa with two core practices: ICT Operations (managed IT, service desk, infrastructure) and CRM & Digital Transformation (Salesforce implementation, consulting, and support).
We're looking for a Project Manager who can bring accountability and operational rigour to a business that's scaling fast. This role is equal parts project delivery and company administration. You'll keep projects on track, but you'll also be the operational backbone that keeps the business running smoothly day to day.
What You'll Own
Project Delivery
- Translate proposals and scopes into actionable project plans with defined ownership, timelines, and milestones
- Manage and track all projects through Jira, identifying risks, dependencies, and corrective actions
- Coordinate project kick-offs, weekly check-ins, and delivery timelines across cross-functional teams
- Align project delivery with time tracking and invoicing — flagging over-servicing, budget overruns, and revenue leakage before they become problems
Company Administration & Operations
- Coordinate internal scheduling, meetings, logistics, and operational workflows across the business
- Manage quotes, proposals, and contracts through to signature — ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
- Maintain and organise company documentation across SharePoint, CRM, and project tools
- Support the MD with structured reporting, internal communications, and follow-ups
- Chase outstanding actions and hold teams accountable for deadlines across all departments — not just active projects
Process & Reporting
- Own all SOPs and internal documentation, ensuring processes are standardised and repeatable
- Produce structured weekly reports for the MD covering project status, risks, delays, and operational performance
- Drive continuous improvement in how the business plans, tracks, and delivers work
What We're Looking For
- 3–5 years of experience in project management and/or business administration, ideally in IT services, consulting, or professional services
- Hands-on experience with project tracking tools — you'll live in it daily
- Strong administrative and organisational skills — you're the person who keeps everything from slipping
- Understanding of project-based accounting
- Comfortable working across technical teams without needing to be the technical expert
- Structured, detail-oriented, and proactive — you chase down loose ends before they're flagged
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Proficiency in Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Teams, Outlook) and CRM systems
