About the Role
As a key member of the Finland Data Center Operation team, you will lead the strategic lifecycle management of critical power infrastructure. This role ensures 24/7 mission-critical availability of UPS, backup generation, and HV/LV distribution systems. You will bridge the gap between Finland’s grid requirements (Fingrid/DSO) and our sustainable energy optimization goals, ensuring compliance with EN 50600 and EU carbon neutrality standards.
Core Responsibilities
Fingrid / DSO Coordination: Manages the coordination with Fingrid and local DSO, Coordinate power maintenance schedules with the Fingrid / DSO, collaborate closely to quickly identify and resolve power faults, and minimize the impact of power outages on data center operations.
Electrical System O&M: Governance of Preventive Maintenance Programs for electrical equipment, monitor key parameters (voltage, current, power factor), and promptly eliminate hazards. Utilize Finland’s low-temperature advantage to optimize system operation and reduce energy consumption.
Incident Response & Critical Power Recovery: Respond to electrical faults (tripping, unstable power supply, etc.) quickly, conduct emergency disposal per Finnish OSH Act and safety standards, and minimize business impact.
Compliance & Safety Control: Ensure operations comply with Finnish electrical regulations, EN 50600 series, GDPR and OSH Act. Participate in safety drills (extreme cold, power outage) and hidden danger inspections.
System Optimization: Analyze operation data, optimize UPS mode and reactive power compensation, and participate in energy-saving projects (harmonic treatment, intelligent PDU deployment).
Supplier & Document Management: Cooperate with local suppliers, power grid departments and regulatory authorities, supervise maintenance quality. Maintain standardized technical documents compliant with Finnish and EU requirements.
Team Collaboration: Provide technical support to the team, share experience on Finnish S1/S2 standards, and coordinate with mechanical/HVAC teams for seamless operation.
