| dc.description.abstract | The conventional literature buttressed the growing importance of a project manager in the construction of any project. However, their roles and challenges in a large project such as the Kejetia Rehabilitation Project has not been explored. This study therefore intended to assess the roles and challenges of the project manager in the Kejetia Rehabilitation Project. The objectives of this study was to determine the roles of the project manager in the procurement of works and also to assess the challenges that may undermine the operations of the project manger and to suggest ways of improving them. The study adopted a qualitative method, specifically a case study approach. Responses were solicited from the(one) project manager and 10 construction workers. A convenience and accidental sampling technique helped in collecting the data from the construction workers. The results indicated that the project does not employ minors below the age of 18, which is in tandem with the rules of the International Labour Organization. Also, the inadequate education on the part of the construction workers interviewed affected their perception on the roles and challenges. Furthermore, the challenges of the project manager include: long hours at work, unpaid salaries and delay in delivery of equipment and machinery. However, some strategies were adopted to help alleviate the aforementioned challenges. These are: regulator stakeholder meetings, regular monitoring, effective risk management strategies, well structured communication plan, management of stakeholder expectations, risk management plan and on the job training. The study therefore concludes that the construction workers should be involved more in the project because their perception on the project can help ensure its successful implementation. Again, the project manager should dedicate time to the work and recognize that the hours involved is necessary for the project success. | en_US |
