Senior Electrical Engineer Data Center Rotterdam Den Haag
Clients demand that First Case shows up. And when First Case shows up, you're the one leading the project.
As a Senior Data Center Engineer you don't run standard maintenance, but the projects that matter: commissioning, start-up and the most complex faults at the most secure data centers in Europe. You lead a team of engineers, coordinate with the client and sign off on delivery. At bigger companies you were a number. Here you're the one the client calls when something's up, with short lines and no bureaucracy.
No day is the same.
This is what a typical week looks like. You lead the projects that matter.
The clients change, the locations change, the tech changes.
You fly to a data center in Germany for the commissioning of a new UPS system. You lead a team of three engineers, coordinate with the client and own the delivery.
Back in the Netherlands for a complex maintenance project in Amsterdam.
You guide an apprentice through their first independent battery measurement.
