Location: Newcastle

Salary: Up to £50,000

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:30–5:30.

Employment Type: Permanent

As a leading provider of cloud, connectivity, cyber security, and managed IT services, this organisation helps more than 3,000 companies accelerate their digital transformation through high-performance, fully integrated technology solutions. Their self-owned, enterprise-class network underpins secure, scalable and innovative services across cloud, communications, and critical infrastructure. With a strong reputation for technical excellence, industry accreditations, and 24/7 UK-based support, they offer an exciting environment for candidates who want to work on cutting-edge technology that drives real business impact.

As a Data Centre Operations Technician, you will take on hands-on technical responsibilities across build, deployment, maintenance, and operational support, ensuring the smooth running of critical environments for a wide range of customers. SC clearance is required for this role, and the organisation will fully sponsor your vetting.

Key Responsibilities

• Hands-on Data Centre work including break/fix, hardware builds, racking, patching, cabling and structured cabling support


• Deployment and support of server, network, storage and associated components


• Use of internal ticketing systems to maintain SLAs and ensure accurate updates


• Support remote access troubleshooting and LAN connectivity issues


• Power monitoring, PDU configuration and basic M&E awareness


• Asset accuracy and DCIM system updates


• Participation in change control and adherence to governance standards


• Maintaining a clean, compliant, and secure Data Centre environment


• Supporting audits, quality checks and continuous improvement initiatives

What We're Looking For

• Strong hands-on Data Centre operational experience


• Confident with racking, cabling (copper & fibre), build, configuration and hardware swaps


• Solid experience in server, network and storage deployment


• Familiar with IT hardware concepts (RAID, SAN, x86, iLO, FC, Ethernet)


• Well-organised, self-motivated and able to work independently or within a team


• Strong communication skills and high attention to detail


• Local to Newcastle / North East—ideal for those seeking long-term stability outside London’s DC hubs


• Full UK driving licence + access to a vehicle


• Willingness to undergo SC clearance (fully funded)

Desirable:

• Experience within a hyperscale or enterprise cloud data centre


• Experience with structured cabling design, testing and termination

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Join a business investing heavily in UK data centre expansion


• Be part of a 40-person DC team set to double in the next year


• Work on a brand-new, cutting-edge Newcastle build


• Clear long-term progression with significant future hiring planned


• Strong training culture and internal development pathways


• Work Monday–Friday with no shift rotations
