Phase2 Talent / Data Centres
Data Centre Recruitment Across APAC and EMEA
Phase2 Talent is a specialist search firm for data centre and digital infrastructure hiring. We help operators, developers and delivery teams find the people who design, deliver and run the facilities behind cloud, AI and digital services.
Why data centre hiring is different
Data centre teams hire for roles where experience on comparable facilities matters, and where a poor hire shows up in delivery timelines and uptime. The people you need are often employed, well regarded and not looking at job boards.
The market is also regional. A Critical Facilities Manager in Singapore, a Commissioning Lead in Sydney and a Project Director in London sit in different talent pools with different expectations. We search the market for the specific role rather than recycling a general candidate list.
Roles we search for
- Data Centre Directors and General Managers
- Critical Facilities Managers and Engineers
- MEP Engineers and MEP Managers
- Commissioning Managers and Engineers
- Project Directors and Project Managers
- Design and Engineering Leaders
- Data Centre Operations Managers
- Data Centre Leadership and Heads of Region
We work with data centre operators, developers, colocation and cloud providers, and the engineering and services firms that support them. Searches range from a single senior hire to a team build for a new site or region.
