What you'll be doing Delivering AV, networking and security: Accountable for the end-to-end delivery of the AV, networking, and physical/electronic security workstreams within the fit-out programme — ensuring project plans, schedules, and risk registers are maintained and delivery teams are on track.

Signing off on designs : Reviewing and approving technical designs from AV, security, and network contractors, coordinating internal technical reviews with subject-matter experts, and managing change control for any post-approval amendments.

About you Experienced in IT project delivery: You bring solid experience managing IT infrastructure projects within office fit-out or construction environments. Technically literate: You have a strong understanding of AV systems, enterprise networking, and physical/electronic security technologies — enough to review contractor designs critically and ask the right questions. Commercially sharp: You're comfortable managing budgets, raising POs, running procurement processes, and keeping a clean financial trail. A natural coordinator: You thrive at the intersection of multiple stakeholders — contractors, internal teams, leadership — and you keep everyone aligned without breaking a sweat. A clear communicator: You report confidently to senior leadership and translate technical detail into language that lands with any audience.
