Specialised in: 

Data centre and M&E recruitment across the UK and European markets, covering the full spectrum of design, build, operations, and engineering roles at every level.

 

Background and experience:

I'm a Senior Recruiter at Eligo Recruitment, working within the Data Centre and M&E team. I bring nine years of technology recruitment experience — built primarily within digital start-ups and scale-ups — to one of the most specialist and fast-growing hiring markets in the sector.

 

Data centre recruitment demands a different level of precision. The talent pool is competitive, the technical requirements are specific, and the projects — whether hyperscaler builds, colocation facilities, or critical infrastructure upgrades — don't leave much room for error when it comes to hiring. I focus on understanding exactly what a role demands and finding the right person for it, whether that's a Design Engineer, an M&E Project Manager, a Data Centre Operations specialist, or a senior leader being brought in to run a major programme.

 

I recruit across the full DC/M&E spectrum, covering design, build, operations, and engineering, for both contract and permanent roles across the UK and Europe. My background in tech recruitment gives me a strong foundation in building trusted relationships quickly and working at pace, skills that translate directly into the demands of data centre hiring.

 

If you're a DC/M&E professional open to a conversation about your next move, or a business with a specialist hiring need, get in touch.
