MARINE AND NAVAL ENGINEERS SEEKING TO MOVE SHORESIDE IN THE DATA CENTER SECTOR. We are looking for M&E Critical Operations Technicians to join an in-house engineering team at a major data center facility in Groningen/Eemshaven, Northern Netherlands. Relocation and financial support offered. Shift Pattern: Rotating days and nights.
Your engineering experience could provide an excellent foundation for a career in the data center industry. Modern data centers rely on sophisticated electrical, mechanical, power, and cooling infrastructure. Many of the systems and engineering disciplines used in marine, naval, and offshore environments are directly relevant to critical facilities operations.
We welcome applications from engineers with experience in:
- Shipboard electrical distribution and power generation.
- Generators, emergency power, and UPS systems.
- HV/LV electrical systems and switching.
- Mechanical plant, pumps, motors, and auxiliary systems.
- HVAC, refrigeration, cooling, and environmental control.
- Planned maintenance, breakdown response, and fault diagnosis.
- Safety-critical engineering operations and permit-to-work procedures.
Candidates from the Royal Navy, Merchant Navy, offshore engineering, marine operations, industrial power generation, and related technical environments are encouraged to apply. You will need relevant technical qualifications, practical engineering experience, and a willingness to learn the specific operational requirements of a hyperscale data center. Previous data center experience is not essential if your technical background and transferable skills are suitable.
The Role
Working within a dedicated critical facilities team, you will help maintain the infrastructure that supports continuous data center operations. Your responsibilities will include planned and reactive maintenance, fault-finding, repairs, equipment inspections, safe systems of work, and supporting the reliability of critical electrical, mechanical, and cooling systems. This is a hands-on engineering position rather than a purely supervisory or monitoring role.
