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
