About Us
Access Fibre Ltd is a growing startup delivering fibre infrastructure solutions with a strong focus on quality, agility and long-term growth.

Job Summary
We’re looking for an experienced and driven Project Manager to lead the delivery of fibre build projects in a fast-paced, growing business. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems, and helping shape the way projects are delivered as the company continues to scale.
Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end delivery of fibre build projects, including FTTH/FTTP network deployments, across multiple live workstreams.
- Oversee civils, cabling, splicing, testing, and installation activities to keep projects moving safely and efficiently.
- Coordinate subcontractors, field teams, designers, surveyors, and internal stakeholders to ensure aligned delivery.
- Develop and maintain practical project plans, delivery schedules, milestone tracking, and site progress updates.
- Monitor daily and weekly progress, take corrective action where required, and ensure delivery remains on time, within scope, and within budget.
- Identify and manage risks, issues, dependencies, constraints, scope changes, and project variations in real time.
- Act as the key point of contact for operational delivery matters with internal teams and external stakeholders.
- Support buildability discussions with design and engineering teams to help achieve efficient, practical delivery.
- Ensure accurate and timely completion of handover packs, as-built records, and supporting project documentation.
- Maintain strong health & safety compliance across all active sites.
Why This Role Is Different
- Help develop and improve project delivery processes, tools, and reporting systems
- Bring structure and consistency to delivery practices while remaining flexible to change
- Work closely with leadership to scale operations as project volume increases
- Contribute to building a high-performance, accountable delivery culture
- Solve problems pragmatically where formal processes may not yet exist
Leadership and Team Coordination
- Lead field delivery teams and subcontractors with clear direction and accountability
- Support and mentor junior project engineers or coordinators
- Act as escalation point for delivery issues, site challenges, and stakeholder concerns
- Promote collaboration between design, build, and operations functions
What Good Looks Like
- Experience in project delivery within fibre networks, telecoms infrastructure, utilities, or civil engineering
- Strong understanding of FTTH/FTTP build processes (civils, cabling, splicing, and installation)
- Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced environment
- Experience coordinating subcontractors and field-based delivery teams
- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to make decisions under pressure
- Good commercial awareness, including budget tracking and cost control
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- Comfortable working in environments where structure is still evolving
Nice to Have
- Experience working in a fibre startup, scale-up, or rapidly growing infrastructure business
- Familiarity with PIA processes and UK fibre rollout standards
- Project management certification (PRINCE2, PMP, APM)
- Experience contributing to or building delivery systems and workflows
- Knowledge of GIS, design coordination, or network planning processes
What You’ll Get
- Opportunity to shape how fibre projects are delivered within a growing startup
- High-impact role with direct influence on operational success and company growth, and direct access to leadership
- Rapid career progression with potential into leadership roles as the company scales
- Exposure to full lifecycle fibre deployment from planning through to handover
- Dynamic environment where ownership and initiative are highly valued
