Haskoning is a global leader in the design and engineering of Mission Critical Facilities, particularly in the data center industry. Our dedicated MCF Data Centre team collaborates with top data center providers across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the UK to create innovative and sustainable solutions. As digital technologies continue to drive global growth, we are expanding our team and offer exciting opportunities for experienced professionals to join us.

What you will do as Electrical Engineer (MCF/ Data Centres)

As Electrical Engineer within our Mission Critical Facilities team, you work on technically complex data centre projects for demanding international clients. You contribute to the electrical design and engineering of reliable, high availability power infrastructures, collaborating closely with multidisciplinary colleagues across borders. Beyond standard building services, you apply specialist knowledge of power distribution, redundancy and secure installations within live and brownfield environments.

You design and model electrical systems ranging from low voltage DC applications up to high voltage substations, including distribution, storage, redundancy concepts and uninterruptible power supplies. You contribute to risk assessments, testing and commissioning activities, and support the delivery of technically robust solutions that meet strict client and regulatory requirements.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Designing and engineering electrical systems for data centres, including LV and HV distribution, UPS systems and redundancy architectures;
• Preparing technical specifications, reports and project documentation to support contractors, vendors and authorities;
• Supporting project management in cost reviews, risk assessments and technical evaluations;
• Reviewing contractor and vendor documentation, tenders and technical proposals;
• Contributing to testing, factory acceptance tests and site commissioning activities.

You work within an international multidisciplinary MEP environment and actively contribute to knowledge sharing and continuous improvement within the MCF team and wider MEP community.
