As an IT Infrastructure Project Manager have you personally managed an office move or new-office technology deployment?
Have you coordinated networking, telecom, AV/meeting rooms, workstation deployments, vendors and facilities teams, and taken responsibility for ensuring everything was ready for employees on move-in day?
Candidates whose backgrounds are mainly software development, ERP implementation or Agile application projects without substantial infrastructure and office-move experience will not be selected.
