Project Manager (with Procurement Responsibility)

Role Overview

Creative Networks is seeking a highly organised and commercially aware Project Manager to oversee and deliver internal and client-facing IT, telecoms, and infrastructure projects.

Alongside project delivery, you will take responsibility for procurement coordination, ensuring all equipment, licenses, and services are sourced, negotiated, ordered, and delivered correctly and on time.

You will not be responsible for making payments — instead, you will act as the central link between Sales, Engineering, Operations, Finance, and Suppliers to ensure that all project procurement is accurate, cost-effective, and aligned with timelines.

This role replaces our previous dedicated procurement officer and incorporates procurement into a structured project management function.
