For our site in **Eygelshoven (NL, near Aachen)** we’re looking for a hands-on **Data Center Technician (m/f/d)** who enjoys building, fixing and improving real infrastructure — not just pushing tickets.

Hardware repairs and component replacement (**CPU, RAM, mainboard, blades**, etc.)

Inventory management & documentation of hardware and parts

Take care of our on-site warehouse (stock, order, material flow)

Very basic **Juniper switch** tasks (initial setup / base config — AI-assisted setup is totally fine)

Work closely with the data center technicians on site

Coordinate with our **2nd/3rd level team** in Münster via **Slack** (remote hands, troubleshooting, status updates)

Requirements

**Must-have:**

• Hands-on experience with server hardware (builds / swaps / repairs) — junior profiles welcome
• Solid basics in **Debian Linux**
• First experience with **Proxmox** (setup / basic understanding / common tasks)
• Structured and reliable working style (inventory/warehouse/documentation)
• **Driver’s license (Class B)** and mobility
• Good internal communication skills (team + data center staff)

**Nice-to-have:**

• Basic exposure to **Juniper** (very rudimentary is enough)
• Basic **English and/or German** skills

Benefits

**Benefits**

• **Permanent contract** at ZAP-Hosting
• **30 days of vacation**
• **Salary negotiable**
• Classic **Mon–Fri** schedule
• Weekend/emergency work is **optional** (by agreement + compensation)
• Occasional **work from home** possible (e.g. documentation/planning)
• Our own **office inside the data center** in Eygelshoven incl. **on-site warehouse**
• **3 monitors per workstation** + **air-conditioned workspace**
• Flat hierarchies, young team, lots of room to improve and shape processes

Start: **as soon as possible.**
If you’re up for real hands-on infrastructure work and not just “processing tickets,” then apply with us. A CV is enough to get started—feel free to add a short line about your hardware/Linux background.
