* 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.

* Full UK driving licence.
Desirable
* Previous experience as a Site Manager or Cabling Supervisor.
* Manufacturer accreditations (e.g., Excel, Commscope, Panduit, Nexans).

* Experience working on enterprise, construction, or public‑sector sites.
