• Perform preventative maintenance, field modifications, and warranty corrections in line with your completed training.
• Conduct failure analysis and document findings, corrective actions, and results clearly.
• Coordinate daily with the site commissioning team — project lead, service coordinator, and contractors — to keep the project on schedule.
• Follow all site safety and compliance requirements, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), NFPA 70E, and OSHA standards, plus data center site protocols and etiquette.
