Senior Engineer - Mechanical (Data Center)

About the role

In Cikarang, you’ll be the mechanical and HVAC lead for one of those facilities: keeping chillers, CRAC/CRAH units, generators and the wider M&E plant running at 100% uptime.

This is a senior, hands-on operations role. You own the planned maintenance programme, lead contractors on site, write and approve the procedures that govern critical work, and act as technical lead when something goes wrong. You report to the JKT02 Facility Manager and work closely with the on-site operations and shift teams.
