IT Infrastructure PM roles

[Pacific808]

Hi All

I'm currently an IT PM and have been for the last two or so years, managing everything from web development projects to office relocations to small infrastructure projects. Before this I was a support engineer for around 4 years in various windows environments, so I'd say I'm fairly technical.

I'm looking to move to a purely infrastructure PM role as this is an area I enjoy. I'm struggling however to find any roles, most of the ones I find seem to want 5/6 years experience minimum and a proven track record of managing multi million pound budgets, which I just don't have!

Does anyone have any advice as to how I can break into this area? I'm looking around Kent/London/Essex area?

I have prince2 practioner and ITIL foundation qualifications.

Would prefer a permanent role with lots of scope for learning and career progression (that part is key) but would settle for contract work to rack up the experience.

I'll check out Fujitsu, thank you. Although I have struggled to find anything to apply for due to my lack of experience. I just need to get my foot in the door somewhere really!

Shame....exactly what we are looking for...

PM - lots of varied projects....desktop, Windows's, MS, migrations, telephony, contact centres, networking, security ...
6,000 employees....most projects in the £50k to £1M budget range...

But we want someone in Manchester ...not "dawn sarth"


My advice register and connect with as many recruitment agents as possible....they are the gatekeepers to you getting an interview.

I'm not in a position to relocate anymore, otherwise I would be all over this. Do you have any provision for home workers with visits to the office when necessary? 'Work is a thing, not a place' as I keep hearing!
