Business Case This should include: position in relation to the budget and business plan against progress on the budget, utilisation of the resource, fit into the Business Unit/Office and service line, impact on clients, firm fee forecast to support this appointment, etc. Note: (Use additional paper if required): Replacement of project manager (Lynton de Waal) that resigned with effect of 1st of May 2017. Budget for I&B (Energy & Transmission) can only be met with sufficient skilled and experienced resource, this includes SL PM specifically KZN region hence the request for a Senior Project Manager/Engineer to be appointed to achieve budget and to generate more work out of business development. Clients can be better served with the immediate replacement of a Senior PM as there is no one else to take the workload. It is too expensive to operate these projects and serve Clients from Gauteng Region. Minimum Required Qualification Bachelor degree in Engineering (B Eng / BSc Eng / B Tech Eng).
