About the role of Project Manager
As Project Manager at Presto, you will be part of the construction team and will primarily work with gas extinguishing systems, although the role may also expand to include other fire protection equipment. You will be responsible for the entire project cycle, from initial preliminary planning and first contact with the customer to project completion and handover.

You will also be responsible for carrying out inspections to ensure that the work is of a high quality and that the installations meet current safety requirements. You will work on several projects at the same time, at different stages of the project cycle.
The role involves many points of contact, both internally and externally. Internally, you will work closely with the sales organisation, specialist engineers and other project managers. Externally, you will work closely with customers, contracted subcontractors and property developers. The role involves travel and overnight stays when required.
