Are you an experienced in Data centers as a Electrical Engineer, HV Engineer or Critical Facilities Engineer looking for your next career move?

Would you like to work with some of the most advanced critical power and cooling infrastructure in Europe, with the opportunity to develop your expertise in the rapidly expanding data centre sector?

PRS Recruitment Services is supporting a major international data centre owner-operator investing heavily in its European expansion. We are looking for technically capable engineers to join its in-house engineering operation in Northern Holland.

If you have a strong electrical or mechanical engineering background, understand critical infrastructure and want to develop your career within a hyperscale environment, we'd like to hear from you.

The opportunity

You'll join an experienced engineering team responsible for maintaining the reliability, safety and performance of a large-scale, mission-critical data centre.

Working alongside operations, maintenance, commissioning and construction specialists, you'll gain exposure to complex infrastructure, major power systems and the engineering standards required to keep critical environments running 24/7.

This is a hands-on technical role offering opportunities to broaden your knowledge, develop specialist skills and progress within a growing international organisation.

What you'll be working with

• HV / MV / LV electrical distribution and switchgear.
• UPS systems, batteries and emergency generators.
• Transformers, protection systems and critical power infrastructure.
• Building Management Systems (BMS) and controls.
• Chilled water, cooling systems and critical HVAC.
• Preventative maintenance, fault finding and technical troubleshooting.
• Commissioning, integrated systems testing and operational handover.
• Critical maintenance procedures, change management and operational safety.

You don't need to be an expert in every system. Strong electrical or mechanical foundations, practical engineering ability and a willingness to learn are what matter.

Your responsibilities

• Maintain, inspect and troubleshoot critical electrical and mechanical infrastructure.
• Support planned preventative maintenance and corrective repairs.
• Participate in commissioning, functional testing and integrated systems testing.
• Follow and contribute to operating procedures, maintenance plans and safe systems of work.
• Support fault investigations, incident response and root cause analysis.
• Work with specialist contractors and engineering teams to resolve technical issues.
• Identify opportunities to improve reliability, safety and energy efficiency.
• Support new infrastructure deployments, site expansions and engineering improvements.

What we're looking for

We're interested in engineers from a range of technically demanding environments, including:

• Data centres and critical facilities.
• Power generation, utilities and HV/MV electrical distribution.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• At least 3-5 years' experience in electrical, mechanical or critical infrastructure engineering.
• Relevant technical qualifications or equivalent practical engineering experience.
• Experienced in HV and LV critical services, ideally with - NEN 3140 / NEN 3840 certification,
• Knowledge of electrical distribution, UPS, generators, cooling or other critical plant.
• A practical, safety-conscious approach to maintenance and fault finding.
• The ability to communicate effectively in English; Dutch language skills are advantageous.
• A driving licence and willingness to travel between facilities occasionally.

Salary, benefits and development

• €70,000–€80,000 basic salary
• €95,000+ potential total earnings, including eligible overtime and performance bonuses.
• Paid overtime.
• 10% personal performance bonus.

• Company car scheme or mileage allowance.
• Employee share scheme, subject to eligibility.
• Pension and voluntary health insurance.
• 25 days' annual leave.
• 8% holiday allowance.
• €5,250 annual training and development budget.

Why consider this move?

This is an opportunity to move beyond traditional industrial or building services engineering and develop specialist expertise in hyperscale data centres.

You'll work within an international organisation investing in its European infrastructure, with access to advanced technology, technical training and opportunities for long-term career progression.

For candidates already working in data centres, it offers the chance to broaden your technical exposure and contribute to a growing engineering operation. For those coming from power, industrial or other critical environments, it provides a route into one of the most exciting areas of modern engineering.
