We are seeking an experienced Authorised Person to join our expanding team across our major data centre projects in Finland, including key locations in Espoo and Kirkkonummi. As a leading European data centre delivery partner, we specialise in comprehensive turnkey engineering solutions-spanning civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, and commissioning services-with over 430 MW of IT load currently in flight across seven European countries.
In this critical on-site role, you will champion electrical safety governance, manage high-voltage (HV) and medium-voltage (MV) safe systems of work, and oversee permit controls during the critical installation, testing, and commissioning phases of our mission-critical facilities.
