AirTrunk’s data centre technicians play a critical role monitoring and maintaining our facilities to ensure the highest operating standards for our customers.
That’s why it’s critical that our technicians have the highest level of certification possible and why we’re working with global digital infrastructure authority, Uptime Institute on a technician training program to uplift critical expertise across data centre fundamentals, power, cooling, maintenance, asset management, and connectivity.
The program is designed to accredit experience, identify and resolve knowledge gaps, support transitions into our industry and complement our site-specific training.
In just nine months, we’ve onboarded over 100 technicians for assessment and training, with 75% already achieving ‘Certified Data Centre Technician Professional status’ (a foundation degree level accredited qualification).
AirTrunk’s Chief Data Centre Officer, Laura Coad, said: “Our technicians are the pulse that keeps AirTrunk running. This investment is key to growing careers, strengthening our teams, and delivering operational excellence for our customers.”
Director at Uptime Education, Matthew Hawkins, added: “It’s fantastic to see a company not only identify development areas at scale but act on them — a deep commitment to operational performance, resilience, and long-term growth.”
