I'm working on behalf of a leading player in the IT construction and infrastructure sector to find an experienced Structured Cabling Project Manager. This is a fantastic opportunity to lead and deliver large-scale IT infrastructure projects across mission-critical environments including data centres, commercial builds, healthcare sites, and more.
If you're technically strong, commercially aware, and confident delivering complex structured cabling projects end-to-end, this role offers variety, challenge, and progression.

What You'll Be Doing:

• 
  Take full ownership of structured cabling projects from planning through to handover.
• 
  Act as the primary point of contact for clients, engineers, and commercial stakeholders.
• 
  Manage project delivery resources: engineers, tools, materials, and suppliers.
• 
  Oversee budgets, P&L, timelines, and documentation, including RAMS and H&S compliance.
• 
  Deliver data infrastructure works across environments such as hyperscale data centres, logistics hubs, and smart buildings.
• 
  Supervise installations (Cat5e-Cat7, OM4, OS2), terminations, testing (Fluke, OTDR), and final commissioning.
• 
  Lead cross-functional teams, ensure quality assurance, and maintain white space standards.

What We're Looking For:

• 
  Minimum 5 years' experience in structured cabling or ICT infrastructure project management.
• 
  Strong technical background - ideally someone who has progressed "from the tools."
• 
  Knowledge of data centre white space environments, cabling standards, and QA protocols.
• 
  ECS/CSCS Black or Gold Card, SSSTS/SMSTS certification (essential).
• 
  Industry-recognised credentials (e.g. CNCI, CDCTP, CTPM) highly desirable.
• 
  Proficiency in project documentation, drawings (Visio/AutoCAD), and tools like MS Project or Linkware.
• 
  Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationally and occasionally internationally.

What's on Offer:

• 
  £6,000 annual car allowance
• 
  Enhanced benefits package
• 
  High-profile infrastructure projects across the UK and Europe
• 
  Long-term progression opportunities within a growing organisation

If you're a proven Project Manager with a strong grasp of structured cabling delivery and are ready for a new challenge in a technical, fast-paced environment - I'd love to hear from you.
