• Report progress, resource requirements and delivery issues, escalating risks early.
• Support testing, snagging, documentation and project handover.

What you’ll bring

• Experience supervising physical connectivity installations on hyperscale data centre projects.
• Contractor-side experience leading engineers, technicians or specialist subcontractors on site.
• Strong practical knowledge of fibre installations, structured cabling, racks and associated hardware.

Highly desirable / advantageous

• An “on the tools” background as a fibre engineer, data cabling engineer, cable technician or similar installation professional.
