Job Description Position OverviewWe are seeking a highly experienced Energy Optimization Subject Matter Expert to support a large-scale portfolio of technology and network facilities. This individual will bring deep expertise in both energy management and HVAC/cooling optimization, with a strong understanding of how technology infrastructure consumes power, generates heat, and impacts facility cooling requirements.

The ideal candidate has already implemented energy optimization strategies across a large, complex portfolio. This is not a role for someone learning these concepts for the first time. We are looking for an industry expert who can evaluate existing environments, introduce proven and innovative approaches, identify opportunities for significant energy savings, and help drive those concepts through implementation.

Direct telecommunications experience is not required. Experience within data centers, mission-critical facilities, technology infrastructure, or similarly power-intensive environments is highly transferable.

Key ResponsibilitiesEvaluate energy consumption and optimization opportunities across a large portfolio of technology/network facilitiesAnalyze the relationship between IT/network equipment, rack heat loads, power consumption, HVAC systems, and cooling demandIdentify opportunities to reduce overall power consumption and operating costsEvaluate existing HVAC and building/environmental control strategiesIntroduce innovative cooling concepts and technologies that may not traditionally be used within telecom environmentsAssess heat generation and cooling requirements associated with servers, racks, and other technology infrastructureDevelop recommendations for improving overall facility energy efficiencyBring proven concepts and best practices from large-scale data center, technology, industrial, or mission-critical environmentsSupport the implementation of recommended energy and cooling initiatives, not simply provide strategyPartner with engineering, facilities, network, and energy stakeholders to move concepts from assessment through executionHelp evaluate and trial new energy-saving technologies and approachesSupport field/site evaluations when neededLook holistically across the portfolio to identify opportunities that can be standardized and scaled Skills and Requirements Required ExperienceSignificant professional experience in energy optimization, energy engineering, HVAC optimization, or mission-critical facility energy managementProven experience implementing energy-efficiency initiatives at scale across a large portfolioStrong working knowledge of both HVAC systems and energy managementExperience evaluating cooling efficiency within high-density technology environmentsUnderstanding of how servers, network equipment, and racks:

Consume powerGenerate and dissipate heatImpact HVAC loadsInfluence overall facility energy consumptionExperience identifying, recommending, and implementing energy optimization solutionsAbility to evaluate new technologies and translate proven concepts into practical, scalable solutionsDemonstrated ability to work independently as a senior SME and advise cross-functional teamsHighly Preferred BackgroundCandidates coming from environments such as:

Large-scale data centersTelecom/network facilitiesCloud or hyperscale infrastructureMission-critical facilitiesLarge corporate technology/facilities portfoliosIdeal CandidateThis person is an established energy and cooling expert who has already solved these problems at scale. They understand the technical relationship between the equipment inside a technology facility and the mechanical infrastructure supporting it. They can walk into an environment, understand where energy is being consumed, identify where efficiency is being lost, bring forward approaches that have worked elsewhere, and help the organization implement those improvements across an entire portfolio.

Most important: this needs to be someone who brings proven ideas to the team, rather than someone who needs to learn the concepts once they arrive. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal employment opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
