Project Manger
Nottingham, United Kingdom, GB - Information Technology and Services
This position will join a dynamic team focused on developing the company’s market leading mobile smart ticketing application on a variety of portable devices. Initially the role will be responsible for team leading the delivery of the handheld terminal solution for Transport for Greater Manchester. Longer term there will be further implementations of the AvantixTM Urban product to other customers, and work on other ticket retailing platforms.

The AvantixTM Urban product is based on the UK Rail AvantixTM Mobile application sold to Atos’ customers in the UK Rail industry.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone wanting to be challenged technically in a number of areas including limited battery, memory and processor capacity as well as multiple communication protocols.

The job is based in a newly built office located in Nottingham. The site has ample parking and good transport links, with a rail station on its doorstep.

- Proven team leadership skills in projects which successfully delivered applications into a commercial environment with a medium sized user base (100 – 5,000 units) specifically demonstrating a competent ability with the technologies outlined:
