Mission Critical Engineering Department
As integral part of the EMEA Development Group, the core objective of the Design team is to drive design innovation, standardization, and continuous improvement to enable the delivery of cost-effective and high-quality infrastructure, delivered safely and always on time. Striving for operational excellence, we specialize in pioneering technical design solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
Vantage is looking for a Principal Electrical Engineer to be part of our Mission Critical engineering team, positioned at the forefront of an exciting growth market. In this role, you will act as the client-side electrical technical authority for VDC design projects, driving electrical design direction, providing technical leadership, developing specifications, managing design consultants, supporting contractor interfaces, and leading the transition from design to installation and eventually to operations.
