## About the role

We are seeking a senior, field service engineer to build the technical operating model responsible for critical electrical and mechanical infrastructure across our data center portfolio.

- 8+ years of hands-on experience supporting critical electrical, mechanical, or electromechanical infrastructure in data centers, industrial facilities, utilities, manufacturing, or similarly complex environments
- Deep technical expertise in at least one discipline, electrical or mechanical, with demonstrated ability to troubleshoot across electromechanical and controls boundaries
- Experience building, leading, or materially developing a field engineering, service, maintenance, or technician team
- Demonstrated success leading high-severity troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, corrective action, and reliability improvement
- Ability to read and use one-line diagrams, schematics, P&IDs, sequence-of-operations documents, control diagrams, equipment manuals, and commissioning records
- Strong safety judgment and experience working under formal energization, isolation, maintenance, and change-control procedures
