Previous data center experience is helpful but not required. Training, tools, and inspection manuals will be provided.

QUALIFICATIONS

At least 1 year of relevant experience in equipment inspection, quality control, preventative maintenance, field service, warehouse operations, mechanical work, or data center operations. Mechanical aptitude and comfort working around mechanical and electrical equipment and using hand tools. Ability to follow printed inspection manuals, checklists, and technical instructions accurately and consistently. Strong attention to detail when recording asset and serial numbers, handwritten notes, and inspection findings.

Perform standardized inspections on server lift equipment using printed inspection manuals and checklists. Inspect mechanical and structural components for wear, damage, leaks, loose hardware, and other deficiencies.

Submit complete digital reports through the Smartsheet mobile application by the end of each workday. Document deficiencies and escalate equipment issues, safety concerns, access issues, unavailable lifts, or other discrepancies to the Team Lead rather than performing out-of-scope repairs.

EXPECTATIONS

Maintain consistent attendance, punctuality, professionalism, and attention to quality throughout the project. Work collaboratively as part of a four-person team consisting of one Team Lead and three Technicians. Travel daily between multiple data center sites across Northern Virginia, which are geographically grouped to minimize unnecessary travel. Strictly follow all client safety, security, PPE, and equipment-handling protocols.
