Life on the team

Join Computacenter’s highly successful Smart Infrastructure team in a key role supporting large-scale customer projects across the UK.

  • Create handover packs, cabling schedules, wall elevations, schematics, and installation documentation
  • Own and refine cost models, applying value engineering to maximise margin
  • Provide technical governance, risk management, and commercial assurance across opportunities
  • Support customer presentations and mid/post-bid discussions

What you’ll need

  • Strong experience in structured cabling design and estimation (essential)

  • Understanding of IP-connected solutions including WiFi, CCTV, AV, and meeting room technology
  • Strong knowledge of Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) design and cabling principles
  • CAD and Bluebeam experience, plus strong Excel/Office skills
  • Minimum two manufacturer design accreditations (e.g. Corning, Panduit, Systimax, Nexans/Aginode)
  • Commercial confidence (costing, margins, risk awareness), ideally with experience on £500K+ bids
  • Willingness to work towards BICSI (RCDD/CDCDP) or relevant AV/WiFi/CCTV certifications
