Project Administrator

Being a project administrator requires strong executive administrative skills, as well as experience in finance budgeting and reporting. Here are some duties and responsibilities required of a project administrator:

• Planning the financial budget necessary for the project
• Coordinating with team members frequently for updates regarding the work in progress
• Monitoring the progress of the project and acknowledging team suggestions
• Supervising the team members and ensuring that guidelines are met
• Initiating the project or contract and working until the project is completed
• Discussing updates with senior officials and the client

If all of this sounds like a project manager, it is because depending on the organization, project administrator is just another name for project manager. In other companies, the project administrator is more of an assistant who does most of the work for the project manager on the staff level, allowing the project manager to spend his time communicating with higher level managers and other stakeholders regarding the project.
