R&D Technical Lead Controls – Electrical development

We’ve created the greenest and best fan-solutions on the global market – and we’re determined to stay in the lead.

The creative and easy-going tone and culture in the R&D team fit you like a glove, and it’ll be your professional base as you take the lead on development tasks and projects within Controls, with focus on Controls for large Datacentre projects. While the project longevity may turn some people off, you know that great solutions can take time to complete, and you’ll steer your projects through all project phases – from ideas, design, and construction to prototyping, testing, implementation, EOL and commissioning – with a steady hand and using the organisation around you.
