Senior Technical Leader Data Center - F/M

4 days ago Barcelona, Spain

At Schneider Electric, we are committed to solving real-world problems to create a sustainable, digitalised and new electrical future. Our data centers support the world's leading cloud, hyperscale and colocation players through their digital and energy transformation.

You will join the OneSol Europe Team in charge of all Solution Business activities (Tendering & Execution), with a strong focus on Data Center projects. You will be part of the Cloud & Service Providers (C&SP) organization, supporting Strategic Data Center Accounts across Europe (UK & Ireland, France, Netherlands, BeNe, Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.).

Your Role:

Reporting to the Head of Tendering, in a hybrid position based in France, the UK or Spain, you will act as the technical authority for complex Data Center and Multi-System Integration opportunities.

Your role starts once the customer publishes its specification (RFQ): you build the bridge between the spec and the factories, check that the technical response meets the spec, and manage any deviations (highlighting, negotiating) through to first order. As the cycle between first prescription and first order is often very short (6 months to 1 year), you will drive end-to-end technical coordination with a high level of autonomy and no direct line management.
