In the role of Lead Engineer Electrical, you will be responsible for the engineering and realisation of projects in the field of power distribution in the data centre industry. The Lead Engineer is responsible for the technical solution and ensures that it is realised within agreed timeline and budget. In this position, you will work for the Electrical Engineering team for data centres, which consists of around 20 engineers. Due to the growth of our operations, we are looking for a Lead Engineer Electrical to fit into this close-knit and driven team. The Electrical Engineering team is part of the "Data Centre Electrification & Automation" department, which is responsible for realising multidisciplinary projects worldwide.
