Oversee all day-to-day engineering operations, including electrical and mechanical systems.
Lead, support, and develop a high-performing technical team while ensuring adherence to health & safety standards.
Own the contract's financial performance, including planning, profitability, cost control, and growth opportunities.
Maintain strong client relationships, serving as the key point of contact for operational issues, service delivery, and performance reporting.
Deliver robust change management, ensuring smooth transitions and minimal risk in a 24/7 operational environment.
Conduct ongoing reviews of SOPs, EOPs, and contingency procedures, constantly seeking improvements and efficiencies.
Support the development and deployment of staff training and competency plans, fostering a culture of learning and professional growth.
Drive compliance across all statutory and contractual obligations through effective controls and reporting.
About You
You're a confident leader with a proven background in critical environments, particularly data centres. You're calm under pressure, highly organised, and thrive in a role that balances strategic leadership with operational execution.
Qualifications & Experience
Prior experience managing Data Centre or mission-critical contracts
Strong electrical or mechanical background - City & Guilds, ONC/HNC or higher
HV Authorised Person status (preferred)
Strong financial and contract management skills
NEBOSH / IOSH qualifications (desirable)
Effective communicator with a natural ability to lead and motivate teams
Proficient in Microsoft Office and standard operational systems
Committed to continuous improvement and professional development
What's on Offer
A pivotal leadership role in a high-profile data centre environment
Long-term career development opportunities within a growing sector
A collaborative, forward-thinking culture that values innovation and performance
Competitive salary and benefits package
This is more than a management role-it's an opportunity to shape the future of critical infrastructure in a high-growth, high-impact environment. If you're ready to lead from the front and drive meaningful results, apply now and make your mark in the data centre world
