IT infrastructure and datacentre
TS International delivers specialist IT infrastructure and datacentre talent across the UAE, GCC, and global markets — at speed, and at scale.
MARKET INSIGHT
Finding qualified IT infrastructure talent in the GCC and beyond is no longer a straightforward exercise. Hybrid cloud environments, hyperscale datacentre expansion, and the rapid growth of edge computing have compressed talent pools while simultaneously expanding hiring demand.
TS International is a specialist technology recruitment partner with over 30 years of experience and 15+ years of on-the-ground presence in the UAE. Our infrastructure practice spans permanent appointments, contract engagements, and managed service programmes — serving enterprise organisations, managed service providers, cloud platform companies, and datacentre operators across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. What sets us apart is not just reach — it is depth. Our consultants understand the technology landscape intimately: from network architecture and cloud migrations to critical environment operations and C-level technology leadership. We do not present volume; we present the right people, verified, and ready to mobilise.

FAQs
Do you recruit for both on-premise and cloud infrastructure roles?
Yes. TSI recruits across the full infrastructure spectrum — from traditional on-premise datacentre environments
through to hybrid, multi-cloud, and cloud-native architectures. We work with legacy-environment enterprises
and cloud-first technology companies alike.
Can you support datacentre operators across both the build and operational phases?
Yes. Our dedicated datacentre division covers both phases: construction (MEP engineers, commissioning
specialists, construction managers) and operations (CETs, DCIM engineers, shift engineers, facilities
managers). Many clients engage us across both.
Which cloud platforms do your candidates specialise in?
TSI recruits across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud, VMware, and OpenStack. We also recruit for multi-cloud management, FinOps, and cloud governance roles as organisations
navigate increasingly complex cloud estates.
Can you supply contract infrastructure engineers at short notice?
Yes. Our contract deployment model is built for urgency. We maintain active pipelines of pre-qualified
infrastructure engineers — network, cloud, systems, and CET — deployable within one to two weeks for most
requirements.
Do you recruit for managed service providers (MSPs) as well as end-user organisations?
Yes. MSP recruitment demands candidates with multi-client, multi-technology experience and strong service
delivery discipline. Our consultants understand this distinction and screen candidates accordingly.
Which regions do you cover for IT infrastructure recruitment?
TSI has active campaigns across the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar), Europe (UK, Germany,
Netherlands, Poland), Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, India), and globally for remote and hybrid roles.
Do you recruit for DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering roles?
Yes — these are among the fastest-growing areas of our practice. TSI recruits across the full DevOps toolchain
including CI/CD, Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, Docker, and observability platforms, assessing both technical
depth and collaborative working style.
Can you make senior and C-level technology appointments?
Yes. Our technology leadership practice covers CTO, CIO, IT Director, Head of Infrastructure, and VP of
Technology appointments. We conduct discreet, targeted executive searches for these senior roles.
Do you recruit IT security roles within infrastructure teams?
Yes. Network security, perimeter defence, and infrastructure-focused cyber security are core to our practice.
We recruit Firewall Engineers, Network Security Architects, SOC Analysts, and Information Security Managers
for infrastructure environments.
Can you support international infrastructure programmes with contractor mobilisation?
Yes. TSI's in-house Payroll and Visa Services team manages the full international mobilisation process — work
permits, visa coordination, and payroll across multiple jurisdictions — enabling seamless deployment of cross
border infrastructure contractor teams.
