Building the operational procedures and controls that certification is based on, not just following them - As the team grows, support and guide our data centre technicians **What helps you succeed in this role** - Hands-on experience deploying and operating data centre infrastructure - Solid understanding of network and data cabling, and of network and power capacity planning - Strong Linux skills - Working knowledge of HVAC and cooling dynamics in a data centre context - Fluent Finnish and good English - A degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related field or equivalent experience earned on the job - Willingness to be on site in Riihimäki, and to take part in an on-call rotation once the site is live **Nice to have** - Experience converting or retrofitting an existing building for data centre or other critical facility use - Experience commissioning a new site or a major capacity expansion - Liquid-cooled or high-density deployments - Exposure to ISO 27001, ISO 9001 or similar management systems - Electrical or HVAC qualifications We offer you a permanent full-time position with interesting and versatile tasks with the opportunity to have a real influence on the development of the data center. The applicant must speak Finnish.
