Data Centre Director - EMEA

About the role

You’ll own delivery of Optronix’s largest, most complex data centre programmes across the UK and EMEA — leading multi-site builds, fit-outs and migrations from win through to handover, and owning the client relationship and commercial outcome end to end.

What you’ll own

  • P&L and commercial performance of a portfolio of mission-critical projects
  • Senior, exec-level client relationships — trusted advisor through delivery
  • Leading and mentoring a team of project managers and site teams
  • Programme governance, risk, schedule and quality across concurrent sites
  • Safety leadership (CDM) and compliance across all works

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
