Critical Data Centre M&E Engineer – Slough
Location: Slough
Salary: £60,000 PACKAGE
Hours: Continental Shift Pattern
Our client is a global data centre services organisation, steadily growing their presence, and have a requirement for multiple shift engineers to be based at a newly built data centre facility in Slough. Working on a continental shift pattern, covering 12 hour days and nights, the role calls for experienced multi-skilled building services or data centre engineers to join and take responsibility for routine and reactive maintenance to electrical and mechanical systems in a highly critical environment. These sites are co-location, housing servers for blue chip, household name organisations, and it is vital they maintain 100% uptime.
Guideline salary is up to £60,000 basic, along with an annual bonus (based on total earnings including overtime, not just salary). Combined with opportunities for overtime and training, this is an exceptional opportunity to join a market leader in a booming sector.
This organisation is a world-renowned leader within the data centre space, with a large portfolio of sites across the United States and now Europe. This is a brand new data centre, and as such, it is an exciting time to get involved on day one of a new site. There are strong progression routes through to management, with a healthy opportunity for overtime and a training budget. Along with all the perks, one of the other benefits is that this is “client-direct”. This means an added level of job security as well as fostering more of a team ethos than those organisations who outsource their M&E services to a third party.
