• Assess and communicate the impact of network and infrastructure changes.
• Ensure projects are delivered in accordance with established project management methodologies and quality standards.
• Provide oversight of technical delivery while facilitating effective stakeholder engagement.

Required Skills & Experience

• Excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills.
• Proven experience delivering network infrastructure, data centre, and network security projects.
• Experience leading Data Centre Migration programmes, including planning, transition, cutover, and migration activities.
• Experience managing Data Centre Exit/Data Centre Consolidation projects.
• Strong understanding of network infrastructure technologies and their business impact.
• Knowledge of project management methodologies such as Agile, PRINCE2, or PMP.
• CCNA and/or CCNP certification (preferred).
• Experience using Jira for project tracking and management.
• Ability to create, document, and present proposed technical changes.
