location: Atlanta, Georgia

job type: Permanent

salary: $130,000 - 140,000 per year

work hours: 9am to 5pm

education: No Degree Required



responsibilities:

Serve as the primary on-site facility expert, proactively identifying and resolving mechanical and electrical issues to prevent customer power and cooling loss.

Dedicate a significant portion of your day to overseeing and directing third-party vendors, ensuring top-tier preventative maintenance and rapid-response emergency repairs of critical equipment.

Respond quickly and effectively to facility alerts-functioning as the "firefighter" of the data center-by diagnosing root causes of tripped breakers or power anomalies and restoring systems promptly.

Manage, monitor, and maintain large-scale Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, industrial backup generators, power transfer systems, and extensive battery arrays.

Oversee mechanical systems, including industrial HVAC units and chillers, understanding complex refrigeration cycles to maintain strict environmental controls.

Communicate complex incident reports clearly to upper management, detailing the scope of the issue, systems affected, and the steps taken to achieve resolution.

qualifications:

Proven hands-on experience as a Facility Engineer or Technician strictly within a data center, hospital, or similar 24/7 mission-critical infrastructure environment (standard high-rise building maintenance experience is not a fit).

Dual expertise in troubleshooting and maintaining both mechanical (chillers, AC, refrigeration cycles) and electrical (critical power, generators, transfer systems) facility operations.

Deep, practical understanding of enterprise-scale Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and battery backup configurations.

Strong knowledge of commercial electrical standards, including the ability to identify and differentiate voltage color codes (e.g., black/red/blue vs. brown/orange/yellow).

Extensive experience managing third-party vendors and contractors to execute specialized equipment repair and maintenance.
