This paper presents project managers (PM) competencies that influence the successful achievement of sustainable development (SD) projects. A relevant literature review is conducted to summarize the PMs’ competencies that lead to outstanding performance in projects. Then, this has been narrowed down to find out the PMs’ competencies that influence the adoption and completion of SD projects. Considering the different views, the primary purpose of this exploration is to illustrate the PMs’ competencies that have a positive impact on the achievement of SD projects in an integrative model. The investigation indicates that there are four main categories of PMs’ competencies that influence the success of SD projects: project management skills, team management abilities, emotional intelligence skills, and formal skills. Hence, this study demonstrates a model inclusively for PMs to relate the found PMs’ competencies to the successful implementation of SD projects. The model primarily explains that PMs who acquire the found competencies have a higher potential to achieve outstanding results in existing and future SD projects.
