Electrical Engineer Data Center Rotterdam Den Haag
From the port of Rotterdam to the government quarter of The Hague: everything runs on data centers, and those data centers run on power. You keep that power up.
UPS systems, battery banks, emergency power: based in Rotterdam you work on the installations that keep servers up day and night, even when the grid drops out. You enter heavily secured sites in Rotterdam and The Hague where almost no one is allowed, and sometimes beyond: Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Brussels. Physical, technical and precise, here a mistake is not an option.
No day is the same.
This is what a typical week looks like. No homes, no offices. Changing clients, locations and tech.
The clients change, the locations change, the tech changes.
You're with a colleague in a data center in Amsterdam. You replace 16 battery modules in a UPS system that Microsoft, Google or Amazon depend on.

Preparing the next project: checking materials and coordinating with the team.
