Datacenter Manager
Role: Data Centre Manager – Multi-Site (Greater London Region)
Location: Greater London / South East (multi-site travel)
Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: Competitive + package
We’re working with a growing operator within the data centre and critical infrastructure space, delivering and managing high-spec environments across multiple live sites in and around the London region.
As part of that growth, they’re looking to bring in a Data Centre Manager to take ownership of day-to-day operations across a small cluster of sites - ensuring everything runs smoothly from both an engineering and infrastructure perspective.
This isn’t just a facilities role. They’re looking for someone who understands the full data centre ecosystem - from M&E through to the white space.
What you’ll be doing:
- Taking full operational ownership across multiple live data centre sites
- Managing on-site engineering teams and specialist subcontractors
- Overseeing all M&E systems including power, cooling, UPS, generators and associated infrastructure
- Acting as the point of escalation for any critical incidents or technical issues
- Driving best practice across HSE, compliance and operational procedures
- Managing planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive works
- Supporting project delivery across live environments (moves, adds, changes, upgrades)
- Working closely with clients and internal stakeholders to ensure service levels are met
Where this role stands out:
This role goes beyond traditional facilities management. You’ll also be responsible for the physical IT infrastructure within the white space, including:
- Structured cabling systems (copper & fibre)
- Rack and stack environments
- Containment, patching and connectivity standards
- Coordination of installs, migrations and decommissioning activities
You’ll need to be comfortable bridging the gap between facilities, IT infrastructure and project delivery.
What they’re looking for:
- Proven experience managing operations within live data centre environments
- Strong understanding of M&E systems within critical environments
- Solid exposure to structured cabling, fibre, and white space infrastructure
- Experience managing multiple sites or large-scale facilities
- Ability to coordinate subcontractors and internal teams across concurrent activities
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
- A proactive mindset
Ideal background:
- Data centre operations / facilities management
- Critical environments (mission-critical, banking, telecoms, hyperscale, colo)
- Structured cabling or connectivity exposure alongside M&E
- Experience working in live, customer-facing environments
