Datacenter Engineer / Server Decommissioning Engineer / Datacentre Technician – Server Relocations, Racking/Stacking, Cabling, Documentation, Blade Servers, Cisco UCS, IBM xSeries etc, SAN Storage Arrays. Contract, 3 Months+, Crawley, West Sussex (with travel to Slough), c.£300 - £350 P/Day Contract Rate (Inside IR35).

***NOTE: This vacancy is offered by the IT Recruitment Division of Comtecs and is based within a Datacenter environment (Crawley and Slough) of a global Insurance.***


Datacenter Engineer / Server Decommissioning Engineer required by global insurance company who are currently engaged in a Datacenter Migration. You will need to be available immediately or within 1-2 weeks' notice maximum due to the timescales involved.


This is a hands-on role focussed on the decommission, racking, stacking, cabling and labelling of all infrastructure employed in production within a global data centre environment in Crawley and its subsequent relocation to a new co-lo datacenter in Slough.


You will work within the team within a defined process to liaise with Infrastructure and Network engineers and when so authorised decommission servers in line with project requirements. This will require a mix of GUI / CMD land engineering and hands-on server de-racking and migration to the new data centre environment. Once in place, you will then undertake the physical installation of servers, network appliances, SAN storage arrays etc and repeat the GUI / CMD line work to get the servers back to a state of operation which enables remotely based engineers reconfigure the services deployed. You will complete the necessary documentation and labelling in order to manage these migrations and deployments effectively.


We are searching for a Datacenter Engineer / Datacentre Technician / Server Decommissioning Engineer / Hardware Engineer / SAN Engineer who has gained experience working in similar environments or similar projects migrating datacenter environments or decommissioning servers across an estate. You will possess experience of working methodically to decommission and migrate servers, network devices and SAN storage devices and have the technical skills associated to this including a knowledge of basic networking and storage principles and protocols. Any experience of managing replication and zone set requirements would be a distinct advantage but non-essential. You will be well organised, methodical and possess good communication skills.


Due to the nature of this role some mild lifting/carrying work will need to be undertaken. Similarly, the environments in which these servers are housed can be hot and noisy and will require someone to be comfortable working in datacenter environments, applying known health and safety procedures when working with electrical goods.


Excellent opportunity to work on a large-scale programme of work with likelihood of contract extension.


Please note that this is an Inside IR35 assignment which can be undertaken via an FCSA accredited Umbrella Company. The data center locations are easily commutable from areas including West Sussex, Surrey, West Kent (Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Bromley etc), East Sussex and East Berkshire.
