Job Description

ZAP-Hosting runs its own server hardware across 8 locations worldwide and serves more than 30,000 active customers with game servers, VPS and dedicated servers. 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.

You’ll get a lot of ownership, fast decision-making, and a practical setup: our own office and warehouse inside the data center

Aufgaben

Assemble new servers (mainly Supermicro) and work on HPE blade systems

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)

Qualifikation

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.
