Project Manager – Structured Cabling (Data Centres)

Location: London-based with UK-wide travel

Employment type: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 DOE

What you’ll be doing:

We’re working with a specialist in end-to-end connectivity solutions who deliver high-quality infrastructure projects across the data centre sector. As a Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for overseeing structured cabling works from planning through to delivery — ensuring that quality, timescales, and budgets are met.

Typical project scopes include cross-connects, backbone fibre installations, rack deployments, containment, and testing — with a focus on delivering structured cabling packages to the highest standards in live data centre environments.

You’ll manage engineering teams on-site, coordinate suppliers, attend client meetings, and maintain full control of the project schedule. Most work will be based around London, but occasional UK travel is expected.

Key responsibilities:

• Deliver structured cabling projects across live data centre environments
• Oversee installations such as cross-connects, copper/fibre cabling, and backbone fibre runs
• Manage rack builds, connectivity layouts, patching, and related activities
• Coordinate project phases from kickoff to close-out, ensuring on-time delivery
• Act as the key contact for clients, site teams, and internal delivery staff
• Schedule resources, manage materials, subcontractors, and site activities
• Monitor budgets, timescales, and deliverables with a focus on quality
• Ensure H&S compliance and uphold high site standards
• Provide regular progress reports, schedules, and documentation

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience delivering structured cabling projects (Cat6/6A, OM3/OM4 fibre, etc.)
• Hands-on knowledge of cross-connects, backbone fibre, and rack infrastructure
• Previous experience working in live data centre environments
• Strong coordination and communication skills
• Comfortable managing multiple projects with frequent travel to sites
• Confident reporting project updates, managing client expectations, and directing site teams
• Industry-relevant certifications (e.g. CNIT, CNID, CTPM, RCDD, or vendor-specific training) are preferred
• ECS/CSCS or similar site safety qualifications (desirable)
• Formal project management training (e.g. PRINCE2, PMP) is a plus but not required

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive salary of £50,000 – £70,000, depending on experience
• Exciting opportunity to deliver high-profile infrastructure in the data centre sector
• Career progression into senior project or programme management roles
• Join a respected team with strong technical leadership and a full UK project pipeline
• Company vehicle or travel allowance (depending on package)
