About This Role
At Verda, we're building a fully featured European AI cloud, covering everything needed to train, experiment with, and deploy AI models at scale.
We are a full-stack AI infrastructure company, meaning we design, operate, and optimize the compute powering modern AI workloads across training and inference. Our infrastructure runs on 100% renewable energy, helping build a more sustainable AI ecosystem.
Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.
About the role
You will own how Verda's data center technicians learn their craft: onboarding, training, and the documentation behind both, across every site. As we grow, you make sure that a technician anywhere in our footprint is trained to the same standard, qualified for the work in front of them, and working from documentation that is actually current.
What You’ll Do
Build the onboarding program that takes a new technician from their first day to independently productive, and the competency framework that defines what "qualified" means for each task they perform
Develop and maintain the training curriculum across the full range of work our technicians do — IT hardware handling and rack-and-stack, structured cabling and patching, network operations, liquid-cooling handling, and low-voltage electrical safety — alongside the site-specific procedures each location requires
Make sure technicians hold the certifications and safety qualifications their work demands, tracking currency and renewals so nothing lapses unnoticed
Run both hands-on and classroom training, then measure whether it stuck through assessments and sign-offs rather than attendance sheets
Own the documentation loop: keep SOPs, runbooks, and training materials accurate and versioned as hardware and procedures evolve, partnering with Operations, Hardware, Networking, Safety, and Architecture to catch changes before they reach the floor
Manage the training records and reporting that show, at any moment, who is trained and qualified for what
Representative projects: build the technician onboarding program end to end; define the competency matrix that says exactly which technician is qualified for which task across every site; stand up the training-records and certification-tracking system; establish the documentation-maintenance loop that keeps SOPs and training materials current
What We’re Looking For
Experience building technical training or onboarding programs for hands-on technical staff — data center, manufacturing, field service, aviation, or similar
Ability to turn expert and tribal knowledge into structured curriculum, competency frameworks, and assessments
Strong documentation discipline — keeping SOPs and training materials versioned, accurate, and current
Enough familiarity with the work data center technicians do (hardware, cabling, networking, and the safety context around liquid cooling and low-voltage electrical) to build credible training, partnering with subject-matter experts for depth
Understanding of certification and safety-qualification tracking, and compliance reporting
Experience delivering hands-on training and measuring whether it actually changed how people work
Comfort running an LMS or training-records system as a source of truth
Bias toward speed and ownership — comfortable building a program from scratch and driving it to adoption
Practicalities
Location: Helsinki Finland, London UK or Remote
Work mode: Office or remote with regular travel to sites during design and deployment
phases
Travel: Regular travel on sites
Employment type: Full-time and permanent
