Day in the life: Project manager

Keith Mathieson, 39, project manager at Motion Software, a hardware, software and tagging provider primarily for the oil and gas industry, talks about his day

My morning
I usually arrive at our Bridge of Don office around 7am then, after a quick visit to the kettle, I’ll read emails and respond to any urgent items of business before it’s time to check in with the rest of the team. I hold regular meetings with the projects team, which consists of eight non-technical staff who I am responsible for. This includes support staff, analysts and testers – each with a different set of skills and experience.

We take a fairly collaborative approach to work where each member of the team can bounce ideas around the room when trying to overcome a challenge relating to a client’s equipment, for instance.

I joined Motion Software almost five years ago, initially as business development manager, before taking on my current role which is orientated more towards business processes and reviewing documentation produced in-house. Working alongside the project controller, I’ll oversee the delivery of all client projects from asset integrity to inspection services. This work is dependent on two key software products: our equipment sales and rental management solution Motion Aspire and Motion Inspect, an inspection and integrity software package.
