North Wind Solutions (NWSOL) is a government contracting small business with operations at military and civilian installations across the United States. The Richland site project's primary focus is providing mission-critical support for the Hanford site in the areas of Cyber Security, IT Infrastructure deployment and management, including network operations, End User Support services, Application Engineering with an emphasis on software development and support, Records Management, and Project Management for the execution across the spectrum of provided services. The Project Management organization is primarily responsible for the management of hundreds of software application projects at the Hanford Site. The North Winds team is currently undergoing a major modernization effort towards a more agile methodology. In this phase of the transformation, project managers are responsible for ensuring that we maintain current software development processes while assisting and encouraging the implementation of new, agile processes alongside them. This project management position manages multiple small and mid-level software projects simultaneously. These software projects may include both Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) implementations and custom-developed software efforts. This role must be capable of managing independently with limited mentor assistance. This position requires rudimentary knowledge of project management professional principles (e.g., PMI) and practices, though certification is not a requirement. Duties and responsibilities for this role include, but are not limited to, creating and maintaining project schedules, managing stakeholder expectations, and ensuring effective communication throughout the project life cycle. The role also involves estimating and budget management, change control, risk and quality management, and adherence to DevSecOps and production support processes.
