Job Summary:

Job Description As a Facilities Operations Technician II - Mechanical , you will support and independently contribute to the reliability, efficiency, and lifecycle performance of mission-critical mechanical and HVAC systems within hyperscale data centers. In this role, you will apply developing technical depth to maintain system reliability, perform troubleshooting, and support upgrades and operational improvements that protect uptime and long-term performance. Responsibilities Key Responsibilities Support and improve mechanical and HVAC architectures and designs for high-availability environments, including chilled water, DX, airside systems, and redundancy strategies. Perform troubleshooting activities, incident investigations, and root cause analysis for mechanical and HVAC equipment or system issues. Support capacity planning, retrofits, and operational initiatives, ensuring operability and maintainability of installed systems. Partner with site operations teams to improve maintainability, safe execution of work, and documentation quality for mechanical and HVAC systems. Support vendor technical reviews, commissioning activities, and operational handover requirements. Coordinate with internal teams and external stakeholders to improve performance, consistency, and lifecycle outcomes across sites. Ideal Candidate Profile Experience with mission-critical, industrial, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, healthcare, or large commercial mechanical systems. Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, P& IDs, sequences of operation, and equipment documentation. Working knowledge of chilled water systems, DX cooling, controls integration, redundancy concepts, and operational risk. Technical certification, trade experience, apprenticeship completion, or equivalent practical experience preferred. Skills and Competencies Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic capability. Solid ownership and accountability in day-to-day operations. Good operational judgment in time-sensitive situations. Clear communication of technical issues, findings, and risks. Preferred Skills / Certifications Experience with chillers, pumps, cooling towers, CRAH/CRAC units, heat exchangers, water treatment interfaces, controls, and mechanical distribution systems. Familiarity with BMS, PLC/controls concepts, trending, alarm management, commissioning, and vendor coordination. Experience supporting maintenance planning, acceptance testing, energy-efficiency projects, or equipment change-outs. EPA Section 608 Technician Certification preferred for roles involving refrigerant-handling activities on stationary HVACR equipment. ASHRAE certifications and training are relevant for growing HVAC depth; ASHRAE currently maintains multiple certifications and identifies the Certified HVAC Designer (CHD) credential as validation of HVAC design competency. Schneider Electric University data center power-and-cooling coursework and DCCA-oriented training are relevant for technicians building broader data center fluency. OEM or manufacturer training on chillers, CRAH/CRAC systems, cooling towers, controls platforms, or water-cooled plant equipment preferred. Uptime Institute's Accredited Tier Designer (ATD) is more design-oriented than technician-oriented, but it is a legitimate data center credential for candidates involved in higher-level infrastructure design and Tier concepts.
