It’s a dynamic team of great people, with a positive work environment and a proactive approach to achieving optimum outcomes for clients, and plenty of opportunities to work on world‑class projects.” – John O'Sullivan, Director – Project Management “Linesight is a professional, highly skilled, efficiently driven, and vibrant consultancy firm. It really stands out from other companies I have worked for in many regards, particularly in terms of the consistent support from managers and colleagues.” – Project Manager “In a growing organisation the opportunity presented is not only to travel, but to grow both professionally and personally. By taking that first step to relocate, you are showing initiative, a willingness to bring your experience to help leadership teams grow Linesight’s presence in new regions, countries and cities.” – Senior Director, Europe “Thanks to Linesight, I have the chance to work in Italy’s rapidly growing data centre sector, with a collaborative team, in a safe and healthy work environment with many growth opportunities, as the company is committed to speedy, but sustainable, long‑term development in the country.” – (role not specified) #J-18808-Ljbffr
