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. It’s about owning the integrity of ICT design from concept through to installation and handover. What makes this role different Most roles separate design and delivery. This one doesn’t. You’ll be responsible for:

• Protecting ICT design intent throughout the project lifecycle
• Ensuring structured cabling and ICT systems are installed exactly to spec
• Acting as the bridge between design teams, contractors, and clients
• Challenging anything that compromises quality or compliance

What you’ll be doing

• Acting as the client-facing lead for ICT design assurance, QA, and compliance
• Reviewing and interrogating ICT and structured cabling designs
• Ensuring installations align with approved designs, specifications, and standards
• Leading QA/QC inspections with a strong focus on ICT systems
• Identifying design or installation deviations and driving corrective action
• Coordinating across design teams, contractors, and technical stakeholders
• Reporting clearly on design compliance, quality, and risk
• Working on-site in live operational environments (travel required)

What you’ll bring

• Strong experience in ICT design and structured cabling systems
• Background in complex or mission-critical environments
• Ability to confidently interpret, challenge, and defend ICT design documentation
• A detail-driven mindset with high standards for both design and delivery
• Confidence to challenge contractors and protect design integrity on site
• Comfortable being hands-on during installation and QA phases

Core requirements

• Experience delivering ICT / telecoms design within multi-disciplinary teams
• Strong understanding of structured cabling design, specification, and installation
• Ability to work with and direct CAD/Revit design teams
• Clear understanding of how design translates into physical installation
• Strong communication skills in a client-facing environment
• Ability to produce concise reports and present technical information clearly
• Self-motivated, organised, and able to take ownership of outcomes

Desirable

• Experience in design assurance / QA roles within ICT environments
• Familiarity with drawing mark-up tools (e.g. Bluebeam or similar)
• Knowledge of staged design and delivery processes
• Industry certifications (e.g. RCDD, BICSI or equivalent)
• AutoCAD / Revit experience

Why this role

• A genuinely design-led QA role focused on ICT systems
• Influence both what gets designed and what actually gets built
• Join a consultancy in a high-growth, specialist technical space
• Be the person who ensures design intent survives delivery
