Data Center Technician I (Night Shift)

Job Description Job Description

We are hiring a Data Center Technician I for our night shift. You will be one of the people responsible for the facility overnight: walking rounds, watching the building management system, performing preventive maintenance on electrical and mechanical equipment, and responding first when something alarms. This is an entry-level position with structured training and opportunity for advancement. You will train on day shift for your first weeks, then move to nights with an experienced technician alongside you.

SCHEDULE

• Night shift, 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM, 12-hour shifts
• Rotating 4-on/3-off, then 3-on/4-off (every other week is a 3-day weekend, and the rotation includes scheduled overtime)
• Weekends and holidays are part of the rotation

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Walk scheduled rounds of the electrical and mechanical plant; record readings and document findings; report anything out of normal
• Monitor the building management system (BMS) and respond to alarms following written procedures
• Perform preventive maintenance on UPS systems, batteries, generators, switchgear, PDUs, CRAC/CRAH units, and chillers under the direction of senior technicians
• Assist with customer "smart hands" requests - rack and stack, cabling, power connections - and basic Colo+ service tickets
• Follow lockout/tagout, arc-flash, and confined-space procedures without exception
• Keep accurate logs and work orders in our CMMS
• Escort and support vendors and contractors working on site
• Maintain a clean, organized facility

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• At least 1 year of hands-on experience in data center / critical facility operations, commercial or industrial electrical, HVAC/mechanical, military power or mechanical systems, or a comparable technical trade - data center experience itself is not required
• High school diploma or GED; technical school certificate or associate degree is a plus
• Comfortable working nights on a rotating schedule for the long term
• Mechanically inclined, careful, and methodical - you read the procedure before you touch the equipment
• Professional and customer-facing: you will interact with colocation customers and their vendors
• Able to communicate clearly in writing (logs, work orders, shift handoff notes)
• Basic computer skills; able to learn a BMS and a CMMS
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

NICE TO HAVE

• OSHA 10 or 30, EPA 608, NFPA 70E, CompTIA A+ or Network+, CDCTP, or a trade license
• Experience with generators, UPS, switchgear, or chillers
• Prior night-shift or 24/7 operations experience

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Walk and stand for extended periods; climb ladders; work in mechanical rooms and on the roof
• Lift and carry up to 50 lbs
• Work around loud equipment with appropriate PPE
• Pass a pre-employment background check
