Job function

The Project Manager is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of telecoms infrastructure projects, primarily supporting Tier 1 telecoms clients across Asset Recovery, Site Decommissioning and Site Exit programmes.

This is a hands‑on delivery role requiring a proactive, self-starting and commercially aware Project Manager who is comfortable taking ownership of projects from initial survey and scope development through planning, mobilisation, site execution, client handover and financial close‑out.

The successful candidate should be confident operating within complex live telecoms environments, coordinating internal engineering teams, logistics, specialist subcontractors, client stakeholders and other third parties. Projects may involve the removal and recovery of telecoms, electrical, mechanical and associated site infrastructure.

• Champion project management best practice, continuous improvement and lessons learned across the business.
• Support other Project Managers and projects where additional project‑management input or recovery planning is required.
• Support the Line Manager with recruitment, onboarding and development of new team members where required.
• Attend and, where appropriate, lead site surveys, mobilisation meetings, client meetings and project kick‑offs.
• Review survey information and translate findings into a clear and deliverable project scope.
• Develop a good working understanding of telecoms site infrastructure and the practical sequence required to safely decommission, recover and remove assets.
• Identify project stakeholders, interfaces, dependencies and approval requirements.
• Establish client expectations, project objectives, deliverables and completion criteria.
