Data Center Facilities Specialist

• ◆Collaborate with engineers, managers, and customers to keep data center MEP systems in peak operating condition, and to develop/update detailed work instructions, method of procedure (MOP), standard operating procedure (SOP), and emergency operating procedure (EOP) documents dedicated to ensuring zero unplanned interruption in services to employees and customers.
• ◆Operate, inspect, maintain, and repair critical data center infrastructure, including chilled-water plants, condensers, cooling towers, pumps, valves, filters, computer-room air handlers (CRAH/CRAC), air handlers, piping, and associated controls.
• ◆Operate, inspect, and support electrical and backup-power systems serving the data hall, including switchgear, lighting and distribution, motors, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), generators, automatic transfer switches, and related equipment, in coordination with electrical and controls stakeholders.
• ◆Perform daily and round-based inspections of critical systems; verify performance against operating setpoints; and proactively self-report deficiencies before they become outages.
• ◆Execute hands-on shop work and/or on-site disassembly, inspection, reporting, cleaning, troubleshooting, reassembly, and testing of pumps, cooling equipment, and other mechanical systems.
• ◆Perform ductwork modifications, brazing, soldering, evacuation and charging of various refrigerants, water piping, insulation modifications, and repairs as required to restore or improve cooling capacity.
• ◆Read and interpret one-lines, schematics, piping and instrumentation diagrams, sequences of operation, and manufacturer literature for assembly, repair, and reassembly as required.
• ◆Monitor building management systems (BMS) and electrical power monitoring systems; respond to alarms; and present information on equipment maintenance statuses for all critical data center facilities as required for internal and external customers.
• ◆Identify, stage, and maintain spare parts inventory for critical assets to minimize downtime.
• ◆Coordinate and support scheduled system shutdowns, isolation, lockout/tagout, and restoration; support commissioning by witnessing equipment startup, assisting with functional testing, and monitoring construction or upgrade progress through turnover.
• ◆Perform failure assessments and day-to-day safety inspections — making recommendations to the supervisor as required.
• ◆Ensure work and used materials are in compliance with manufacturer specifications.
• ◆Operate a forklift, scissor lift, pallet jack, boom lift, work truck, and overhead crane.
