End to End Project Management

For every submarine cable project, HMN Tech sets up project management team of professional personnel to manage internal and subcontracted resources. Single point communication is developed between project team and our customer. We ensure delivery time and quality by using professional techniques and organization.

The project team is composed of a Project Director, a Project Manager, a Project Assistant, and a Marine Installation Supervisor. The objectives and responsibilities of the project management team are to provide project management and marine installation planning, and to offer project management for turnkey project tasks. This includes the following management areas:

Project Time Management     


               

The Plan of Work is an important factor in HMN Tech’s project management.
