About The Position

A Data Center Critical Environment Technician is responsible for maintaining the stability, safety, and continuous operation of mission‑critical infrastructure within high‑availability data center environments. This role ensures that all electrical, mechanical, and environmental systems—such as UPS, generators, CRAC/CRAH units, PDUs, fire suppression, and building management systems—operate at peak performance to support 24/7 uptime. Technicians perform routine inspections, preventative maintenance, and real‑time monitoring to quickly identify anomalies, mitigate risks, and prevent service‑impacting incidents. They work hands‑on with power distribution, cooling systems, and facility controls to maintain compliance with operational standards and industry best practices. In addition to technical oversight, Critical Environment Technicians play a key role in incident response and operational continuity. They troubleshoot equipment faults, coordinate emergency repairs, and execute standard operating procedures (SOPs) and method of procedures (MOPs) during maintenance windows. The role requires strong collaboration with data center operations teams, network engineers, vendors, and security personnel to ensure safe work practices and seamless execution of infrastructure changes. Technicians also support capacity planning, environmental monitoring, and documentation updates to maintain accurate records of system performance and facility health. This position demands a high level of attention to detail, situational awareness, and the ability to perform under pressure in fast‑paced, high‑stakes environments. Successful technicians bring a blend of mechanical and electrical aptitude, strong problem‑solving skills, and a commitment to operational excellence. Their work directly supports the reliability of critical IT systems, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery for enterprise customers and large‑scale cloud or network operations.
