About the company

The largest data centers in the Netherlands are in the Eemshaven. You keep the power running that they rely on.

As a Data Center Electrician you work on the critical electrical installations of the data centers in the Eemshaven: UPS systems, backup generators, distribution boards and the related instrumentation and controls. You carry out preventive maintenance, inspect installations, resolve faults and help commission new systems. The work demands round-the-clock reliability: in these buildings the power must never fail.

The essentials: Salary €3.300 to €4.100 per month · 38 hours per week · Fulltime · Based in Groningen.

In this role you earn €3.300 at entry, rising to €4.100 as an experienced engineer. Growing on to Senior can later reach €4.900, but you are applying now for the Data Center Engineer role.
