You offer a cross-project view and are involved in important topics such as scope definitions and creation of technical specifications, onboarding of new suppliers, supplier management, quality management, process optimization, and sustainability.

• Participating 2-3 weeks per year in on-site activities for projects within Europe (and Asia) to keep your skills, practical experience, and insights in on-site project execution up to date.

Your success is grounded in
Your experience and deep technical knowledge of the workings on site combined with the ability to convey information in a structured and accessible way to your colleagues. You understand the international project environment in Europe and Asia and can provide extensive descriptions of the scope of the works and processes.

• A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (or equivalent education or experience).
• 5+ years of working in the field of on-site services and 3+ years as an on-site installation & commissioning engineer at some point in your career for low and medium voltage switchgear, protection relays, and busbars (preference for experience with Siemens Switchgear systems).
• Relevant completed training for LV and MV Switchgear (from Siemens' power academy or comparable manufacturers).
• You are a great communicator, have strong presentation skills, and are fluent in English both verbally and in writing. Profiency in Dutch is very welcome.
• Working experience in the data center business, electrical construction sites, or another project-orientated environment is preferred.
