The Role

You will take end-to-end ownership of hyperscale connectivity projects, from pre-construction handover through mobilisation, delivery, commercial close and client sign-off.

Key responsibilities include:

• Manage high-count fibre deployments supporting spine-leaf architectures, backbone connectivity and high-density compute environments.
• Coordinate rack installation, rack readiness and server/network hardware deployment interfaces.
• Manage patching, labelling, testing and project handover.
• Develop project delivery plans, resource models, programmes, risk registers and reporting.
• Lead engineering teams, site leads, subcontractors and third-party vendors.
• Manage delivery across multiple workstreams and shifts, including 24/7 environments where required.
• Act as the senior day-to-day client contact.
• Provide clear updates on programme progress, risks, constraints and recovery actions.
• Manage project budgets, forecasting, cost control, change management and margin performance.
• Ensure projects meet hyperscale quality, safety, security and operational standards.
• Oversee RAMS and site-governance requirements.
• Support technical and commercial solution development during pre-sales and future client opportunities.

What We're Looking For

• Proven Project Manager / Programme Manager experience delivering hyperscale Data Centre connectivity projects.
• Strong hands-on understanding of structured cabling, fibre infrastructure, rack installation and physical Data Centre deployment.
• Experience delivering major fibre and copper programmes within live or construction-phase data halls.
• Strong knowledge of high-density rack environments, fibre routing, containment, patching and testing.
• Experience with AI, GPU or HPC environments is highly advantageous.
• Understanding of spine-leaf network architecture and the physical connectivity required for high-throughput compute environments.
• Proven experience leading engineers, subcontractors and site teams.
• Strong client-facing and stakeholder management skills.
• Confidence leading governance meetings, managing escalations and providing programme reporting.
• Strong commercial awareness across budgets, forecasting, change control and project margins.
• Willingness to travel extensively across European project locations, including periods of 2–3 weeks away at a time.
• EU / EEA passport required for repeated European project deployments.
• £70,000–£75,000 equivalent base salary, depending on experience and employing country.
• Permanent employment through the company's UK, Irish or Swedish entity.
• 33 days annual leave including bank/public holidays.
• Company pension.
• Private medical cover.
• Death-in-service / life assurance following probation.
• All project-related travel and accommodation paid for.
• Daily project allowance when working away.
• Overtime paid at 1.5x the pro-rated basic hourly rate where required.
• Project patterns can include nights and weekends, typically 2–3 weeks on project followed by time at home, depending on project requirements.
