• Support construction teams and commissioning activities
• Ensure compliance with German regulations and international standards

Requirements

• Degree-qualified Electrical Engineer
• Proven data centre electrical design experience (essential)

• Experience working within engineering consultancies or technical advisory roles
• Locally based in Germany (local hire only)

Why Join

• Join a consultancy with a true engineering-led culture
• Long-term local role — no rotation or excessive travel
• Work on some of Europe’s most technically advanced data centres
• Strong career progression into principal and design leadership positions
