This is a fantastic and rare opportunity to work both locally to home in the Hampshire area, as well as a Monday-Friday role in a data centre, as opposed to the usual 24/7 shift roles which are usually on offer within the sector. Combined with working for an SME but growing business, which offers a family feel and fewer corporate layers internally, it's a chance for a technically minded and ambitious critical services engineer to develop with a similarly dynamic business.
