What is a project officer?

A project officer is responsible for the administrative and organizational aspects of project management. As a project officer, your primary objective is to ensure the project’s success. It’s your job to set up meetings with the project manager and the project board, who oversee the big picture including the project’s budget and strategic goals. You must take detailed meeting minutes and share information and documents with key players who are unable to attend a meeting. Your duties also include documenting project developments, monitoring potential risks, and motivating the project team to meet deadlines.
