Data Centre Manager

Data Centre Manager - Manchester & Rotherham | £65K + 5% Bonus

Looking after one site is one thing, this role gives you two. A leading edge infrastructure provider is after an experienced DCM to take full ownership of their Manchester and Rotherham sites, as part of a wider national network.

If you want real autonomy, a business that actually invests in its people, and a step up into multi-site leadership, this is worth a conversation.

What you'll be doing:

• Running day-to-day operations across both sites - safety, resilience, performance, the lot
• Leading the on-site teams, sorting shift patterns, managing vendors and contractors
• Owning incident, problem and change management, keeping H&S and security tight
• Managing whitespace, power and cooling capacity, plus a hand in the capex/opex budgets
• Working closely with Technical and Mechanical Leads on PPM programmes and contractor performance
• Building solid client relationships and leading service reviews across both sites
• Sharing best practice with other DCMs across the network

What you'll need:

• Solid experience managing a mission-critical, 24x7 data centre
• Strong people management background - multi-site or multi-team experience is a big plus
• Comfortable dealing with clients, including the tricky conversations
• Good working knowledge of DC infrastructure and M&E systems
• Full UK driving licence - non-negotiable given the two sites
• Degree level (or equivalent experience) in Facilities/DC Infrastructure Management
• CDCMP, ITIL Foundation or an M&E background would go down well

What's in it for you:

• £65,000 + 5% bonus
• Monday-Friday, 37.5 hours
• Private medical care
• EV car scheme (salary sacrifice) + cycle to work
• Health cash plan
• Death in service - 4x basic salary
• Up to 5% matched pension contribution
• Birthday off + company-wide well-being day
• 2 paid charity/volunteering days a year
• Unlimited access to online learning
• Long service awards, socials and a Christmas party
• Free breakfast, tea/coffee/fruit/soft drinks, plus a Thursday breakfast club
