Location: Milan, Italy
Let’s get this out of the way early.
This is not a desk role, and it’s not a “watch and learn” position.
This is not a desk role, and it’s not a “watch and learn” position.
We’re hiring a CSA Site Engineer to support the delivery of a large‑scale data centre project in Milan. You’ll be working in a fast‑paced, technically demanding environment where civil, structural and architectural packages need to line up properly with MEP, planning, BIM and commissioning. When they don’t, you’ll help fix it.
If you want exposure to complex builds, real responsibility on site and a team that knows what it’s doing, this is a strong move.
