Senior Project Manager – ICT Design Assurance & QA (Client-Facing)
Senior Project Manager – ICT Design Assurance & QA (Client-Facing) Consultancy | Permanent | £75,000 – £90,000 + Travel If your background is in ICT design and structured cabling, but you’ve seen too many projects drift away from the original intent during delivery—this role puts you in a position to stop that happening. A growing consultancy is hiring a client-facing Project Manager to take ownership of ICT design assurance, QA, and compliance across complex technical environments. You’ll ensure that ICT designs are not only technically sound—but actually delivered on site as intended. This is not a programme management role.
