• Manage data centre and physical IT infrastructure projects from planning through to successful completion.
• Understand project scope, technical requirements and customer expectations.
• Attend customer sites and carry out site surveys where required.
• Develop and manage project plans, schedules, budgets and resource requirements.
• Coordinate internal engineers, subcontractors, suppliers and other delivery resources.
• Manage project risks, dependencies, issues and changes throughout delivery.
• Manage customer communication and expectations throughout the project lifecycle.
• Monitor quality, cost, timescales and scope.
• Ensure projects are delivered effectively within live data centre environments.
• Maintain accurate project documentation and delivery updates.
• Recommend improvements to project delivery, efficiency, quality and profitability.

About you

• Substantial experience delivering physical IT infrastructure projects within live data centre environments.
• Proven end-to-end technical project management experience.
• Broad knowledge of data centre relocations, hardware installations, decommissioning, racks and structured cabling.
• Experience managing project budgets, resources, suppliers, subcontractors and risks.
• Strong customer-facing, communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• A practical understanding of the challenges and risks involved in delivering work within live data centre environments.
