  • Maintain accurate logs, asset records, and CMMS entries
  • Escort and oversee vendors during critical work

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years hands-on mechanical and/or electrical experience - data center or mission-critical facilities (utilities, semiconductor, healthcare, or military) preferred
