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.

- 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
