Job description

Data Centre Manager (Contract) | Southampton | On-site

  • Length: 3 months initially, likely to be extended
  • Start: ASAP
  • Location: Regular on-site presence at a data centre in the Southampton area. You need to live within easy reach.

The role

A banking client needs a hands-on data centre lead to work alongside their existing Data Centre Manager. The current DCM sets the direction. You'll be the regular on-site presence, covering shifts and running day-to-day work.

What you'll do

  • Run physical DC work: server racking and stacking, decommissions, structured cabling (copper and fibre), patching
  • Manage on-site engineers and third-party contractors for installs, moves and decoms
  • Look after asset tracking and DCIM records, and raise and close changes through change control
  • Cover shifts and act as on-site escalation when the DCM isn't there
  • Keep the site audit-ready in a regulated environment

What you need

  • A solid track record of on-site work in enterprise or colo data centres
  • Hands-on racking, cabling standards and decommissioning, plus the ability to lead others doing it
  • Experience working to change management/ITIL processes
  • Flexibility for shift cover and regular on-site presence. This is not remote-first.

Nice to have

  • Experience in financial services or another regulated environment
  • Awareness of power and cooling (UPS, PDUs, capacity planning)
