Key Responsibilities

• Support the design, maintenance, and expansion of data center physical infrastructure.
• Manage capacity for power, space, and cooling.
• Analyze infrastructure resiliency, redundancy, and failover capabilities.
• Contribute to data center construction, upgrades, and commissioning activities.
• Perform root cause analysis of infrastructure failures.
• Work with DCIM, monitoring, and engineering metrics.
• Collaborate with construction teams, utilities, vendors, and facility stakeholders.
• Partner with Real Estate, Critical Systems, Construction, and Technology teams.
• Deliver technical solutions that meet availability, redundancy, and quality requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Strong working knowledge of data center critical infrastructure, including mechanical, electrical, and/or structured cabling systems.
• Experience supporting budgets and cost controls for data center projects and infrastructure operations.
• Ability to contribute to data center infrastructure engineering and design activities, including interpreting design standards and identifying implementation risks.
• Track record of contributing to projects with measurable impact on infrastructure reliability, efficiency, or standardization.
• Experience applying established engineering standards, operational procedures, and best practices.
• Professional experience working within a large, complex organization, with an ability to collaborate across teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for presenting technical and operational information.
• Experience defining, tracking, and using operational and engineering metrics to support data-driven decision making.

Preferred Qualifications

• Typically 5+ years of experience in Data Center, Critical Systems, or related infrastructure engineering disciplines.
• Experience supporting data center engineering, construction, upgrades, or integration activities within a large or multi-site environment.
• Working knowledge of risk assessment and availability concepts for data centers or colocation environments.
• Solid understanding of data center technologies and associated monitoring and infrastructure management tools (e.g., power, cooling, DCIM).
• Experience compiling and contributing to site assessments, infrastructure health evaluations, and facility upgrade planning.
• Working knowledge of root-cause failure analysis related to critical systems equipment.
• Familiarity with working with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) to support compliance with applicable codes and regulations.
• Foundational understanding of network design and layout as it relates to data center infrastructure.
