Data Centre Site Lead - Hyperscale Connectivity Deployments

Permanent and contract positions + salary or day rate + travel and accommodation covered on deployment

About Optronix

Optronix works across the whole data centre lifecycle. We plan, build, move, run and decommission data centre infrastructure for enterprise, colocation and hyperscale clients.

Our connectivity teams install fibre, copper and racks in multi-megawatt hyperscale and AI data centres, to one method for drawings, testing, labelling and as-built records. We're growing that team across EMEA and Asia-Pacific, and we're hiring a Data Centre Site Lead to run our deployments on site.

The role

You'll lead our data centre connectivity deployments on site, in multi-megawatt hyperscale and AI data halls across EMEA and Asia-Pacific. You run the installation day to day: the crews, the method, the quality and the safety, from the first containment walk to the last link handed over.

What you'll own

• Day-to-day delivery on site: crew planning, sequencing and daily targets against the programme
• MPO trunks and breakouts, high-count singlemode and multimode fibre, AOC and DAC, copper and out-of-band, installed to the drawings and port maps
• Quality at every stage: dressing, labelling, end-face inspection and cleaning, testing and certification
• Safety on site: RAMS, permits, inductions and toolbox talks
• Coordination with the client's site team, the main contractor and the other trades
• Progress reported rack by rack, and as-built records that match the hall at handover

What we're looking for

• 5+ years on multi-megawatt hyperscale data centre connectivity deployments, including leading crews on site
• Hands-on with MPO/MTP trunks, cassettes and breakouts, AOC and DAC, and fibre polarity
• Fibre testing and certification (OLTS, OTDR, end-face inspection) and the records that go with it
• Comfortable working from drawings, rack elevations and port maps, and managing change on site
• Calm and decisive when the programme gets tight, with a strong safety record
• A valid passport, and happy to spend extended periods on site across EMEA and APAC

Nice to have

• AI and GPU cluster fabrics: backend, frontend and storage networks
• SMSTS or SSSTS, IOSH, CSCS; BICSI or CNIDP
• Languages for sites in EMEA or Asia-Pacific

What we offer

• Permanent and contract positions: a competitive salary or day rate
• Travel and accommodation covered on deployment
• Flagship hyperscale and AI programmes across two regions
• One method on every site: the drawings, testing and records are already set up
• The backing and stability of GS Group
