Around Schiphol-Rijk sits Europe's densest data center cluster. Everything there runs on power that must never fail, and you'll learn to keep it running.
At First Case you don't work on just any installation. You work on the physical layer beneath the digital world: the power in the data centers around Amsterdam and Schiphol-Rijk. Netflix, your banking app, ChatGPT, it all runs on power that must never go down, and we keep it running. As a Trainee Electrical Engineer you learn the trade from the ground up. No diploma needed. You work four days alongside experienced engineers in the Amsterdam cluster and spend one day a week at school. Within three years you'll be working independently in data centers across the Netherlands.
The essentials: Salary: €3.300 after diploma · 40 hours per week · Fulltime · Based in Amsterdam.
You start with full training paid by First Case. During your training you earn the youth wage, and right after your diploma you are promoted to Data Center Engineer at €3.300, growing on to €4.100.
