Junior Electrical Engineer

The challenge 

As a Junior Electrical Engineer, you will contribute to the design and development of advanced electrical systems for high-tech and complex projects. You will work within multidisciplinary teams, helping to shape innovative and sustainable solutions for our clients in the Data Centers and Life Sciences industries.

Your responsibilities include: 

• Assisting in the conceptual phase of projects by providing technical input.

• Developing electrical installation designs, including energy supply, fire safety, low-voltage systems, lighting, telematics, communication, and security installations.

• Performing basic calculations for cable routing and lighting systems.

• Collaborating closely with the design lead to ensure a seamless workflow.

• Gaining hands-on experience in project work while learning from senior engineers.

Here’s where 

• We worked on the development and design of a sustainable and modern building for the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON), which develops measurement instruments for satellites. SRON was moving to the Leiden BioScience Park and had high demands on the new building in terms of sustainability, clean rooms and installation technology. As a research institute dedicated to studying the Earth's atmosphere, SRON felt it was important to minimize the impact on nature and the environment. Therefore, Deerns chose heat pumps in the design for heating and cooling the building and solar panels were installed on the roof. On top of it all, the building received the BREEAM-NL certificate Excellent.

• We worked on the development of the new, sustainable DSM Lab 6 in Delft where Deerns handled all technical installations, electrical systems, IT infrastructure, security, mechanical systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), transportation and utility systems. Technical and financial feasibility were also thoroughly checked during the design phase. Based on the incidence of sunlight in the building, the energy performance requirements and the strict requirements for indoor temperature, Deerns designed a façade that is 25% closed. This ensures a naturally cool indoor climate, saving energy on heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

• We worked on the construction of the new Equinix ML5 Data Center in Milan, Italy. We supported the project's mechanical, electrical and plumbing design for construction. After the design for construction of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, Deerns supervised the construction site to check the quality of the installations and acted as commissioning manager for the General Contractor. Deerns also supported the construction to achieve a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating. LEED certification means a building is healthy, highly efficient and has improved environmental performance.
