Your role

We are hiring a Lead Engineer, the role will give you the opportunity to expand your skills and experience working on mission critical infrastructure facilities operations for the largest wholesale data center provider in the world.

You will also help to gather information and take readings to fill in the parameters on daily spreadsheets.

  • An Associate's degree (AA/AS) or an equivalent combination of education and experience; data center experience is strongly preferred.
  • A trade license or certification acquired through technical education/training.
  • A facilities maintenance certification.
  • Experience working with mission critical data equipment, and the willingness to work in a fast-paced, mission critical environment.
  • Strong HVAC, mechanical, and electrical skills and experience.
  • An understanding of computer systems, and skill with Microsoft Office products.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • The ability to follow instructions and processes precisely and carefully.
  • The willingness to work 2nd or 3rd shift, at least one weekend day each week, and unscheduled overtime as needed to complete projects or break-fixes.
  • The ability to walk around a good deal of the time to perform inspections, to do some work outdoors in the weather if needed, and to lift heavy objects.
