Summary:
As Data Cabling Project Manager, you will be responsible for the planning, organisation and communication required to deliver structured and data cabling projects — Cat5e/6/6a, fibre optic, containment and associated infrastructure works — from start to finish, on schedule, within budget and to customer satisfaction.
This is a management and coordination role rather than a hands-on installation role: you will bring a strong working knowledge of structured cabling systems and methods so that you can plan, specify, resource and quality-check the work delivered by engineering teams and sub-contractors, while acting as the main point of contact for clients and internal stakeholders.
A passion for delivering an exceptional service to clients and customers, strong organisational skills, and the ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences alike are key to success in this role.
