Location - Surrey / Sussex / London with extensive UK and European Travel

Intelligent data linked to professional sports is here to stay, and the evolution of data in many decision-making processes is only continuing to increase.

To support that, we're working with one of the global leaders in sports technology and are looking to recruit an infrastructure bias, field manager who will be driving the process and delivery of next-generation technology into British football stadiums and then in time, branching out across stadiums in Europe.

The equipment sits on Apple IOS platforms and standard cable infrastructure so we're looking for supervisors/project engineers that come from a strong network infrastructure background who also have the end-to-end subcontractor delivery experience to supervise technology partners across multiple sites.

The cabling installation will mainly be outsourced to partner companies (Cat6) but you'll be:

• Carrying out surveys
• Configuring routers and switches
• Producing statements of work and associated documentation
• Engaging contractors to deliver the cable infrastructure
• Managing progress through to completed network install
• Returning to the venue & checking equipment set up
• Performing calibration on equipment and configurations
• Signing off install and then attending for fault fix and adjustment in future as needed.

Training will be given on specific hardware and technology but a routing and switching configuration knowledge of typical networking equipment would be assumed. Communication is a huge deal - both internally and externally using email/Slack and also, the ability to triage issues is going to be important.

In plain English, you'll come from a network infrastructure background and ideally, have some project/supervisory experience - so the role is a hybrid between supervision/site delivery and some hands-on when needed.

Flexibility is going to be a big deal on this one as while the roles are UK focused at the moment, the likelihood is that the positions will have more of a European flavour in around 12 months, meaning you could be travelling 50% of the time (It's fully business expensed). This is going to involve a fair chunk of your time being on the road and likely in hotels, so your personal circumstances need to be able to accommodate that.

Ideal location would be South London, Surrey, Hampshire or West/East Sussex. We can't consider people based in other locations for now.

Some of the work will be at heights (Football stadiums) so you would need to be OK with that although specific climbing tickets are not needed. Any relevant site management qualifications such as CSCS or SSSTS would be a bonus, but are not essential.

You'll need a full driving license and your own vehicle and then claim back all business expenses for mileage and travel in the UK.
