Dutch term or phrase: 1e monteur middenspanning
Would anyone be able to help me with the English term for this? Found in a marketing/technical text describing somebody's role within a company. Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
There appears to be no set definition of "medium voltage", but this still seems the obvious answer.

agree  Kitty Brussaard: 'first' blijft het dichtst bij de brontekst en 'senior' is ook een optie, maar 'lead' past wat mij betreft vooral goed bij het fungeren als teamleider/aanspreekpunt voor het team.

  -> I was thinking of 'senior' ('lead' sounds interesting) , but did not do research. A native English speaker must be able to find a solution with the info above. It says it all. :-) // 'lead' may be correct since you become one by training.
