Do you work in a structured way, take responsibility for the quality of your work, and are you motivated by helping to safeguard Denmark’s security? Then you might be one of the Critical Operations Technicians we are seeking for FE.

You will face challenges and have room to develop

FE is looking for technicians for the operations department, which is responsible for the operation of FE’s new data centers at Svanemøllen Barracks in Copenhagen.

As an employee in FE’s data center operations department, you will be part of the operation and maintenance of the mechanical systems that form a substantial part of the data centers’ critical infrastructure. The work is carried out according to established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), where systematic thinking, quality and precision are essential.

Your tasks will include, among others

• Build and maintain in-depth knowledge of the mechanical systems across all plant types.
• Participate in the ongoing development of FE’s data centers in collaboration with your section and team leader.
• Participate in the implementation of necessary preventive and corrective maintenance actions.
• Contribute to optimization of the mechanical systems in collaboration with service providers.

It is also a requirement that you can obtain and maintain a security clearance for HEM.
