Life on the team
Join Computacenter’s highly successful Smart Infrastructure team in a key role supporting large-scale customer projects across the UK. You’ll work closely with Solution Specialists, Account Teams, and strategic partners to shape compliant, commercially sound designs across structured cabling and smart building technologies.
This is a visible role with the opportunity to influence bids, support major tenders, and contribute to high-value infrastructure programmes.
What you'll do
- Produce accurate design estimates and bid responses for structured cabling, racks, PDUs, containment, WiFi, CCTV, and AV/MTR solutions
- Support account teams with solution design, pricing, and customer engagement
- Ensure bids are delivered using best practice (BICSI and manufacturer guidelines)
- Create handover packs, cabling schedules, wall elevations, schematics, and installation documentation
- Own and refine cost models, applying value engineering to maximise margin
- Provide technical governance, risk management, and commercial assurance across opportunities
- Support customer presentations and mid/post-bid discussions
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Strong experience in structured cabling design and estimation (essential)
- Knowledge of containment/pathway design and survey validation
- Understanding of IP-connected solutions including WiFi, CCTV, AV, and meeting room technology
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) design and cabling principles
- CAD and Bluebeam experience, plus strong Excel/Office skills
- Minimum two manufacturer design accreditations (e.g. Corning, Panduit, Systimax, Nexans/Aginode)
