Junior Project Manager - Building Cabling & Networks Support

Project overview

Our client in the Networks and Telecommunications sector is looking for a Junior Project Manager for Building Cabling & Networks Support (M/F).

Mission Description:

Context

As part of construction, renovation, and modernization projects for a European institution, a project management support team assists with the evolution of building infrastructure across several sites in Belgium and Luxembourg, with occasional interventions at other European sites. The team works with project owners, design offices, installers, integrators, and operators. They can train the recruited person in the specifics of their scope.

The projects focus on building communication infrastructures: copper and fiber optic cabling, Wi-Fi networks, and associated equipment. The mission concerns building LAN and work supervision, not the administration of IT systems and networks.

Mission

Supporting senior project managers and project directors, the recruited person will assist the project owner in defining needs, studies, work supervision, and installation verification before acceptance. They will contribute to site supervision and stakeholder coordination, with progressive skill development in cabling, fiber optics, and Wi-Fi studies and measurements.
