FULL DESCRIPTION

We are looking for a Site‑Based Data Cabling Project Manager to oversee the day‑to‑day coordination and delivery of structured cabling projects directly at customer locations. This is a hands‑on, presence‑led role where you’ll act as the primary on‑site lead—managing engineers, ensuring work quality, and keeping projects running safely and efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and coordinate all on‑site activities for data cabling projects (Cat5e/6/6a, fibre, containment, cabinets, pathways).
  • Provide daily direction to cabling engineers and subcontractors on site.
  • Carry out on‑site surveys, assess risks, and update RAMS accordingly.
  • Monitor work quality, perform inspections, and ensure compliance with standards and customer requirements.
  • Maintain project schedules on site and handle real‑time issue resolution.
  • Ensure strict health & safety compliance, toolbox talks, and site audits.
  • Liaise directly with the client on site, providing progress updates and managing expectations.
  • Oversee material deliveries, stock levels, and site logistics.
  • Ensure accurate documentation, test results, and handover packs are completed on site.

Skills & Experience Required

  • Proven experience delivering site‑based structured cabling projects.
  • Strong knowledge of cabling standards, installation methods, containment systems, and fibre/Cat6 testing.
  • Confident leading engineering teams and managing site operations.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to make quick, informed decisions.
  • Strong communication and customer-handling skills.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and site plans.
  • ECS/CSCS card (or ability to obtain).
  • Full UK driving licence.

Desirable

  • Previous experience as a Site Manager or Cabling Supervisor.
  • Manufacturer accreditations (e.g., Excel, Commscope, Panduit, Nexans).
  • Project management certifications (Prince2, APM, or equivalent).
  • Experience working on enterprise, construction, or public‑sector sites.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits.
  • Strong pipeline of high‑profile site‑based infrastructure projects.
  • Support from experienced project and technical teams.
  • Opportunities to develop into senior project management roles.
