First Case is the partner clients demand for building and maintaining their most critical power infrastructure. You are the reason why.
As a Lead Data Center Engineer you carry full technical responsibility for the heaviest projects at First Case: the commissioning and start-up of complete power infrastructure in Tier 4 data centers, for the biggest hyperscalers in Europe. You lead the engineers on site, are the technical face towards client and manufacturer, and sign off on delivery. No management layer above you, a direct line to the leadership and influence on the company direction.
