Data Centre Operations Manager

Equinix is the world's digital infrastructure company®, shortening the path to connectivity to enable the innovations that enrich our work, life and planet.

A place where bold ideas are welcomed, human connection is valued, and everyone has the opportunity to shape their future.

Joining our operations team means being at the center of everything - maintaining and evolving critical infrastructure that powers the digital world and delivers real impact for our customers, communities and society. You'll find belonging, purpose, and a team that welcomes you-because when you feel valued, you're empowered to do your best work.

Job Summary
We're looking for a strong, influential leader to take ownership of operations at LD14, our newest data center on the Slough campus. This is a leadership role requiring someone who can set high standards, inspire technical teams, and bring people with them on the journey to ensure operational excellence.

LD14 is a purpose-built, five-storey International Data Centre in the Slough Trading Estate. Opening in 2027 alongside our established Slough sites, LD14 is designed to support high-density workloads, cloud connectivity, and mission-critical financial infrastructure. Sustainability is built in, including the ability to supply waste heat for district heating in the local community. This is a rare opportunity to lead a new site from commissioning through to steady-state operations, and to shape its team, culture, and ways of working from day one.

This is not an IT management role. Instead, we're seeking someone with a background in engineering, technical operations, or facilities leadership. While data center experience is an advantage, we also welcome candidates from telecommunications, infrastructure, and other mission-critical technical environments. You will have been accountable for running an operation, responsible for the delivery outcomes, operating costs, and the complexities of engaging with multiple stakeholders
