Delivery Lead / Site Manager (Data Centre Connectivity)
Salary:£50,000 – £60,000 + package
Employment type: Full time
Location: UK (projects across London / Europe depending on workload)
This is for someone who’s stepped up from being fully hands-on and is now properly running areas of a job.
You’ll be leading teams on-site across structured cabling, fibre, and rack & stack works within data centre environments. Less about pulling cables yourself, more about making sure the job actually gets delivered properly.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Running day-to-day delivery on site across multiple work areas
- Managing engineers and subcontractors (often multiple teams)
- Coordinating structured cabling, fibre installs, and hardware deployment
- Working closely with Project Managers to keep programme on track
- Managing RAMS, drawings, and general site documentation
- Acting as the main point of contact on site for escalations
- Supporting client interactions and progress updates
What You’ll Need
- Proven experience delivering data centre projects (not just one-off exposure)
Strong background in:
- Structured cabling (copper & fibre)
- Rack & stack / hardware installs
- Experience running teams on site
- Comfortable coordinating multiple workstreams
- Able to deal with clients and escalate issues properly
Nice to Have
- Exposure to hyperscale environments (AWS, Microsoft, Meta etc.)
- Experience working for structured cabling / connectivity contractors
The Reality
- You’ll still be close to the tools at times, but this is more about coordination than doing
- You won’t be owning full project commercials at this level
