Job description

Are you an experienced server infrastructure professional who wants to help secure the reliable operation of business-critical systems? Would you like to apply your technical expertise in an operational technology environment supporting the future of renewable energy?

As our new SCADA Server Infrastructure Engineer, you will be responsible for engineering, maintaining and continuously improving the virtual and physical server infrastructure underpinning Vattenfall's business-critical renewable‑energy Fleet-Level SCADA and related Fleet-Level Operational Technology applications in Esbjerg.

You will help ensure that our server platforms provide a stable, secure, scalable and high‑performing foundation for business‑critical OT environments. Your work will cover areas such as system availability, backup and restore, disaster recovery, monitoring and infrastructure lifecycle management.

A key part of your role will be applying structured engineering, security and lifecycle‑management principles to keep the platforms reliable, supportable and compliant with Vattenfall standards and operational requirements. You will work closely with internal colleagues, external stakeholders and suppliers, while supporting our BA Wind Operational Control Centre and Maritime Control Centre in Esbjerg in their daily operations.

Be in your element with BA Wind

Our wind, solar and batteries business offers a unique opportunity to be in your element, working to help harness the forces that will take us to fossil freedom.

As part of BA Wind, you will play a key role in one of the most exciting pipelines in the industry, with 24 GW of capacity stretching out more than a decade ahead across our key European markets.

You will not only be involved in developing projects but also in pioneering cutting‑edge innovation, new business models and new ways of working with communities and the environment. Working as part of a leading European utility also means you could be helping a growing number of major businesses and brands achieve their own sustainability goals through partnerships.

Qualifications

Your role

As a SCADA Server Infrastructure Engineer, you will take ownership of server infrastructure throughout its lifecycle, from initial analysis and engineering through implementation, operation, improvement and eventual replacement or decommissioning.

You will combine hands‑on technical work with structured planning, documentation and collaboration. Your focus will be on maintaining secure and reliable server environments and proactively identifying opportunities to strengthen performance, availability and operational resilience.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Supporting the daily operations of the BA Wind Operational Control Centre and Maritime Control Centre in Esbjerg.
• Engineering, deploying, maintaining and continuously improving virtual and physical Fleet‑Level OT server environments.
• Performing infrastructure lifecycle assessments and developing maintenance, upgrade, replacement and decommissioning roadmaps.
• Planning and executing server replacements, migrations, upgrades and decommissioning activities.
• Designing, validating and maintaining backup, restore, high‑availability and failover solutions.
• Monitoring server performance, health, capacity and availability, and proactively identifying improvement needs.
• Analysing server incidents, performing root‑cause analysis and implementing corrective, preventive and proactive improvement actions.
• Planning, tracking and documenting assigned tasks, technical changes, procedures, results and operational knowledge.
• Contributing to purchasing activities, technical solution validation and collaboration with external suppliers.
• Supporting internal and external audit activities.
• Participating in the team's on‑call rotation, providing specialist OT infrastructure support for business‑critical services outside normal working hours.

Your profile

You hold a degree in IT Infrastructure, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline, or have built equivalent expertise through relevant professional experience. You have a strong technical foundation in server infrastructure and thrive when taking ownership of solutions from analysis and design through to implementation, operation, and continuous improvement. You are equally comfortable working independently and collaborating with colleagues, suppliers, and stakeholders across the organisation. To succeed in this role, you must have excellent written and spoken English skills. You should also be able to communicate professionally in Danish and be comfortable understanding Danish in both spoken and written form. As the Operational Control Centre supports multiple locations, a valid driver's licence and access to a car are required. The role may also be subject to security clearance, and candidates must be able to meet the applicable screening requirements.

You Bring Knowledge And Experience In

• Windows and Linux system administration.
• Virtualisation, virtual desktop, secure remote‑access and Privileged Access Management (PAM) technologies, such as VMware, Omnissa Horizon, Citrix, BeyondTrust and Remote Desktop Services (RDS), together with multi‑factor authentication (MFA) solutions.
• Enterprise server hardware, such as Dell, HPE or IBM.
• Device‑management software for thin‑client environments.
• Backup, disaster recovery, patch management and restore validation, for example using Veeam.
• Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, certificates and domain‑services integration within Windows Server environments.
• Maintaining, upgrading and managing server infrastructure across its lifecycle.
• Preparing technical documentation and maintaining documentation of server architectures, configurations and procedures.
