For our site in Eygelshoven (NL, near Aachen) we’re looking for a hands-on Data Center Technician (m/f/d) who enjoys building, fixing and improving real infrastructure — not just pushing tickets.

You’ll get a lot of ownership, fast decision-making, and a practical setup: our own office and warehouse inside the data center.

Aufgaben

Assemble new servers (mainly Supermicro) and work on HPE blade systems

Hardware repairs and component replacement (CPU, RAM, mainboard, blades, etc.)

Inventory management & documentation of hardware and parts

Take care of our on-site warehouse (stock, order, material flow)

Very basic Juniper switch tasks (initial setup / base config — AI-assisted setup is totally fine)

Work closely with the data center technicians on site

Coordinate with our 2nd/3rd level team in Münster via Slack (remote hands, troubleshooting, status updates)

Must-have:

• Hands-on experience with server hardware (builds / swaps / repairs) — junior profiles welcome


• Solid basics in Debian Linux


• First experience with Proxmox (setup / basic understanding / common tasks)


• Structured and reliable working style (inventory/warehouse/documentation)


• Driver’s license (Class B) and mobility


• Good internal communication skills (team + data center staff)

Nice-to-have:

• Basic exposure to Juniper (very rudimentary is enough)


• Basic English and/or German skills
