Senior Mechanical Operator – Data Center Cooling & Ops

Fluidstack; Indiana; Vor Ort; USD 202.000 - 258.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Fluidstack is seeking an experienced Data Center Operations professional to own mechanical operations on shift across high-uptime facilities. You will lead troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, and handovers with a focus on reliability and safety.

You'll manage escalation during outages, drive root-cause analysis, and ensure SOPs are kept up to date while maintaining alarm hygiene in BMS and coordinating with vendors for outages and preventive tasks.

Qualifikationen

• 8+ years of hands-on mechanical or critical facilities operations in data centers.
• Deep operating knowledge of chillers, cooling towers, CRAC/CRAH units, air handlers, pumps, and hydronic loops.
• Fluency in BMS platforms: reading trends, tuning alarms, and diagnosing faults from controls data.
• A track record owning root-cause analysis and preventive maintenance programs at scale.
• Experience as the senior mechanical escalation point on shift, making calls during outages when the runbook runs out.
• Willingness to work rotating shifts and carry on-call responsibility for mechanical outages.
• Bonus: experience with direct-to-chip liquid cooling and CDUs, EPA 608 Universal or equivalent.

Aufgaben

• Own mechanical operations on shift as the top escalation point for chiller plant, CRAC/CRAH, air handler, pump, and cooling loop failures in a live, always-on facility.
• Run preventive maintenance execution end to end: scheduling, vendor supervision, lockout/tagout, and QA of completed work, with records rigorous enough to survive an audit.
• Lead root-cause analysis for mechanical incidents and drive corrective actions to closure, including procedure updates and spare parts adjustments.
• Build and maintain operating procedures (SOPs, MOPs, EOPs) for mechanical systems and drill them so any operator can execute under failure conditions.
• Drive BMS alarm hygiene and trend analysis so degrading equipment gets fixed before it trips.
• Close out commissioning-to-operations handovers for new mechanical plant, verifying performance against design.
