You’ll lead projects from survey through to handover, coordinating with civils teams, cabling, splicing, and installation activities while keeping contractors and field teams aligned and supported.
Alongside this, you’ll manage materials, permits, traffic management, and access needs, helping to keep programmes moving and driving continuous improvement across delivery processes.
Regular travel to our operational sites is required to build effective relationships, gain insight into frontline operations, and develop a comprehensive understanding of the needs of our teams, clients, and stakeholders.

- You will provide comprehensive progress reporting, identifying risks and proposing mitigation strategies to keep projects on track.
- Acting as the technical expert, you will oversee all aspects of fibre installation, address blockages and civil defects, perform quality checks, and ensure accurate documentation and timely production.
- Effective planning is vital. You’ll coordinate work schedules to optimize team efficiency, ensure all necessary noticing and documentation are in place, and rectify defects within contractual deadlines.
- Your technical expertise will aid in interpreting utility drawings, resolving on-site network issues, and ensuring proper execution of complex installations.
- Building and managing client and contractor relationships will be a priority, including conducting site audits and walk-offs to ensure satisfaction.
- You’ll also oversee the accuracy of payment applications, ensuring work meets required standards and paperwork is complete.
- Guidance of field operatives and subcontractors will focus on maintaining compliance and fostering a culture of excellence.
