Analysis on the competency requirements of project managers in construction enterprises?

What are the ability requirements of construction enterprises for project managers? The following is a detailed introduction of Zhong Da Consulting for your reference.

Enterprise management experts believe that there are four commanding heights for enterprises to win, namely, the commanding heights of talents, technology, products and markets, and the commanding heights of talents are the key. The practice of modern enterprise competition proves that the competition between enterprises is essentially the competition of talents. The project manager is the representative of the legal representative of the construction contracting enterprise in the construction project, occupying the core position in the project management, and his quality is the key to the success or failure of the project management.

Under the condition of developed market economy, the economic strength, mechanical equipment, work force and other hard capabilities of construction enterprises can be obtained through the market, while the soft capabilities of enterprises need to be reflected through the project manager, so the general contractor is cautious in selecting the project manager. Only when he has trust in the project manager of the construction enterprise can he hand over the project to this enterprise. Therefore, an excellent project manager with high market reputation and high quality can play an inestimable role in the operation stage of construction enterprises.

Case 1: In the competition of a bid section of Beijing elevated rail project, all bidders have similar conditions in construction scheme, bid price, construction period and quality assurance. However, the project managers of all bidders were selected, and only the project manager of a certain group won the honorary title of "National Excellent Project Manager", so this outstanding point made the group win the bid in one fell swoop. This shows the importance of an excellent project manager to construction enterprises. So what should a project manager have? John, an American project management expert. Bin's project manager quality can be summarized in six aspects: first, he has professional technical knowledge; Second, work has motivation; Third, it has mature and objective judgment ability; Fourth, have management ability; Fifth, be honest and reliable, and match words with deeds; Sixth, alert, energetic and hard-working.

From the practice of project management in recent years, as well as through questionnaires and interviews, it can also be concluded that a project manager must have the following qualities:

1 noble professional ethics, strong sense of mission and responsibility

This is the first problem to be solved. Why put professional ethics first? Case 2: Professor Wei Jie, an economist in Tsinghua University, talks about the construction of professional ethics. He said this: "A chairman went to Beijing for a meeting and invited me to dinner. As a result, as soon as I sat down, the chairman had something to leave and asked his vice president to accompany me to dinner. I looked at the bill and calculated 2300 yuan. As a result, the vice president asked the waiter to open 9700. The next day, I wondered why I wanted 9700 yuan. There seems to be a loophole, because the chairman invited me to dinner, and if you spend money to write who invited me to dinner, he won't ask me how much I ate. This is that the system is invalid and he should not do it. Later, I met with the chairman, and I told him that your company had problems, and the vice president did it, which was not bad. " The project manager is independently responsible for the project. If his professional ethics is low, even if his personal ability is strong, he will not agree with the enterprise or have a poor sense of identity, which runs counter to the spirit advocated by the enterprise or has ulterior motives, and will eventually cause huge losses to the enterprise. From this perspective, the professional ethics, mission, responsibility and loyalty of project managers are very important to enterprises. If the project manager lacks enough trustworthy professional ethics, it is not good for the enterprise and himself. Even if he changes jobs to another unit, the boss will consider reusing the risks you bring to the enterprise.

2 solid professional theoretical knowledge

First of all, the project manager must understand the knowledge of project law construction management, project budget and bidding. The project manager is not necessarily an expert, but he must have certain professional knowledge, technical level and ability in this industry. Because only in this way can we find the problems in the project in time, put forward the solutions accurately, make decisive decisions, constantly overcome various difficulties in the project progress, and finally realize the project objectives. From the manager's point of view, the project manager can win the admiration of his subordinates with profound knowledge, rich experience, advanced technology and excellent judgment.

3 project construction management ability

The project manager should master the basic principles and knowledge of construction management by project method, be familiar with the operation mode of project management, master the basic knowledge and related skills of financial management, relevant financial systems and regulations, and be familiar with relevant national macro policies and economic regulations. As a project manager, we must clearly realize that most of the time we should be on the "manager" of the construction project and not get caught up in specific affairs. As a legal person, an enterprise entrusts some rights and responsibilities to you, and you can perform the desired work instead of him. You should think from the perspective of a legal person, be responsible for the legal person, and pay more attention to whether the managed project implements the development strategy of the enterprise, the quality policy of the enterprise, whether the quality target can be realized, whether the contract can be fully fulfilled, whether the economic and social benefits of the project are realized, and whether the competitive advantage of the enterprise is enhanced.

4 organizational leadership

The project manager is the top leader, organizer and person in charge of project implementation, and plays a decisive role in project management. The project manager must be good at employing people and be able to unite people. In organizational decision-making, trust is not based on the authority brought by status, but on its own appeal to influence everyone and strengthen people's beliefs. Whether a construction project can be done well or not depends on people, and the competition of the project is ultimately the competition of talents. The ability to identify, appoint, evaluate and motivate talents is a must for a project manager. No matter how excellent a person is, he is not an all-rounder and needs a group of outstanding talents to hold management positions around him. Therefore, as a project manager, we should establish a people-oriented consciousness, attach importance to employees, know people well, fully stimulate and mobilize employees' enthusiasm and creativity, discover and tap people's potential, cultivate and use people's potential, integrate employees' personal development with project management, and finally achieve ideal economic and social benefits.

5 strategic design and organizational implementation capabilities

Doing business is like fighting. The project manager is the on-site conductor. Under the planned economy system, the external business environment faced by construction projects is simple and fixed, as long as the project is profitable, while the market economy is the survival of the fittest. At present, the internationalization trend of the construction market is becoming more and more obvious, and enterprises are not only facing increasingly fierce domestic competition, but also facing competition with foreign enterprises. In this case, if you are not competitive, you will be eliminated by market competition at any time. Whether an enterprise can create intangible assets such as reputation, famous brand and popularity will determine its future and destiny. Therefore, the project manager must have the spirit of innovation and strategic foresight, and must have the ability of strategic design and organizational construction, and create market reputation by doing a good job in building projects and casting quality projects, thus expanding the visibility of enterprises.

6 the ability to create corporate culture

The construction project is an enterprise-level organization and a team composed of many employees. Therefore, the project manager should be a team builder and a communicator of beliefs; That is, people who can establish good relations with employees and instill the concept of corporate loyalty in employees. Corporate culture does affect all aspects of business activities, whether for the market, for employees, or for innovation and so on. Some people think that this is too empty, but if we carefully study those successful enterprises, such as Haier's "always sincere", TCL's "creating value for customers" and GE's "simplicity, speed and self-confidence", corporate culture and team spirit often play a decisive role. With the gradual deepening of the reform of construction enterprises, the unique corporate culture and team spirit of enterprises have been formed to a great extent and reflected through the projects undertaken. Therefore, an excellent project manager should be able to create a harmonious internal atmosphere, publicize and guide a vibrant corporate culture.

Strong coordination and communication skills.

Only by establishing a public relations marketing network of "hanging up, connecting horizontally and radiating downwards" and communicating and coordinating all aspects can we expand the survival and development space of enterprises. The project manager should take the initiative to visit the project owner, supervision, design, relevant departments of local government, senior management of the company and relevant departments to understand their ideas, especially the potential needs of the owner, and establish a good relationship; It is also necessary to communicate with project management team members frequently to enhance understanding and establish a good internal working atmosphere.

The quality of the project manager has become the key to the successful completion of the project. Through the analysis of the ability and quality of the project manager, we can see that an excellent project manager of a construction enterprise must have the above qualities in order to go further in the fierce market economy competition and create better benefits for the enterprise.
