Pubblicato il 13-08-2026 - Salute in Milano
Across the data center industry - from deployment, through operations and maintenance, to decommissioning - Salute is the industry leader in delivering global data center services. As we expand our operations across Europe - we are looking to recruit a Data Center Engineer in Milan (Mechanical/Electrical).
The Junior Facilities Engineer is responsible, as part of a team, for ensuring that all electrical, mechanical, and fire/life safety equipment within the data center is operating at peak efficiency. This involves both planned preventative maintenance of equipment, daily corrective work, and emergency response to emergent issues. The Junior Facilities Engineer primarily interacts with Data Facilities Engineers, clients, and vendors. Data center equipment that supports mission‑critical servers must maintain better than 99.999% uptime. This equipment includes, but is not limited to, emergency diesel generators, electrical switchgear, UPSs, PDUs, AHUs, chillers, cooling towers, chemical treatment systems, pumps, motors, VFDs, and building automation systems,
and a basic understanding of this equipment would be preferred.
The Junior Facilities Engineer also provides comprehensive data centre white space support for IT infrastructure, which may include monitoring, troubleshooting, reporting, and day‑to‑day maintenance – all of this being site‑dependent and as per the service level agreements with our clients. MSOs are also responsible for using event monitoring and management systems to provide notifications and escalations to stakeholders during service outages.
This role will work on a 2-shift work pattern including night shifts.
