About Arc:
Arc Systems is a Managed Service Provider (MSP) delivering IT, cloud, network and security services to businesses. We are growing our Project Management Office (PMO) so that every customer project is planned properly, delivered on time and handed over cleanly to our support teams.

• plan, schedule and coordinate projects so they are delivered on time, within budget and to the agreed scope,

• Coordinate customer and internal IT projects from handover through to closure.

• Set up and maintain projects in Autotask, including plans, tasks and budgeted hours.

• Keep customers informed and manage expectations with regular updates.
