About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Data Center Operations Engineer to join a technical group responsible for operating and maintaining our rapidly scaling data center infrastructure. This hands-on role supports live, mission-critical facilities while new data halls and buildings are commissioned on campus. You will help keep live infrastructure operating reliably while safely bringing new capacity into service. Our team collaborates across internal departments and with external vendors, contractors, and consultants, covering all aspects of complex data center environments, including advanced power and cooling systems.

Responsibilities

  • Operate and maintain live data center environments, including regular equipment inspections, alarm response, incident response, and follow-up.
  • Troubleshoot cooling, power, controls, and monitoring issues at the cabinet, pod, and facility levels.
  • Support and maintain CDUs, RDHx units, and direct liquid cooling infrastructure, including hands-on tasks such as filter replacement, valve and hose checks, and leak response.
  • Monitor operations through internal BMS and monitoring tools, investigate abnormal conditions, and escalate issues with clear technical context.
  • Review, execute, and improve SOPs, EOPs, and MOPs in coordination with internal teams, data center providers, and specialist vendors.
  • Plan and coordinate preventative and reactive maintenance, supervise critical work, and confirm equipment is returned to service correctly.
  • Act as the primary day-to-day liaison with the data center provider and coordinate vendors performing work on site for our scope of work.
  • Support construction and commissioning activities for new data halls, including site walks, drawing and submittal review, script review, witnessing tests, and construction-to-operations turnover.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience operating, maintaining, commissioning, or constructing mission-critical data centers, trading floors, or similar 24/7 facilities.
  • In-depth knowledge of MEP systems such as switchgear, UPSs, generators, STSs, PDUs, RPPs, chillers, CDUs, CRAH/CRAC units, pumps, fire protection systems, and BMS/EPMS.
  • Strong understanding of data center cooling and electrical principles, including redundancy topologies, containment, airflow management, and liquid cooling.
  • Experience maintaining and troubleshooting direct liquid cooling systems, including CDUs, RDHx units, valves, hoses, filters, and associated controls.
  • Comfortable using BMS and monitoring tools to investigate alarms, identify trends, and diagnose equipment or system problems.
  • Experience writing, reviewing, and executing SOPs, EOPs, and MOPs.
  • Proven ability to work effectively with data center providers, contractors, OEMs, and service vendors.
  • Strong problem-solver and communicator with the ability to describe detailed problems with brevity and accuracy.
  • Self-starter who works well independently, prioritizes effectively, and makes sound judgment calls under pressure.
  • Flexible to work nights and weekends in support of 24x7x365 operations and willing to participate in an on-call rotation for critical site emergencies.
  • Able to perform physical work, including lifting up to 50 lbs.
  • Some construction and commissioning experience is strongly preferred, including walking job sites, reviewing drawings and submittals, and witnessing tests.
