Kingfisher

Kingfisher is a diverse team of over 78,000 colleagues powering leading home improvement brands including B&Q, Screwfix, Brico Dépôt, Castorama, and Koçtaş. With ambitious plans to become the world’s leading home improvement company, we’re building the largest global community of home improvers—and we want you to be part of it.

We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated equally and valued for who they are.

Please note that this role is based at our Fareham site and you will be required to attend three days per week.

As a Datacentre Infrastructure Management Technical Specialist

You will join the Infrastructure Operations Services team, delivering technical support across key datacentre locations. You’ll play a critical role in maintaining electrical and mechanical infrastructure, while supporting IT installations to meet business and customer project needs.

What's the job?

  • Work Monday–Friday with participation in a 24/7 on-call rota.
  • Monitor and maintain datacentre management tools and infrastructure.
  • Deliver IT installations, moves, and decommissioning of legacy equipment.
  • Install and manage LAN and SAN cabling within the datacentre.
  • Maintain accurate asset and configuration data, ensuring effective tracking and control.
  • Support datacentre operations by resolving incidents to SLA, collaborating on projects, and working with third-party suppliers to deliver maintenance and service improvements.

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.
