ABOUT THE JOB:

The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated

electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and HVAC systems in the world.

Facilities Technicians at Google data centers operate, monitor and support

physical facilities conditions. Some of these duties will include heating and

cooling of air and water, power supply, generators, UPS systems, electrical

distribution and control and monitoring systems. You regularly help inspect,

maintain and repair various data center systems such as piping and non-critical

electrical or mechanical system components).

As an advocate for best practices, you develop creative approaches to reducing

operational costs while improving overall data center efficiency. You ensure

that environmental and safety standards are consistently met, identifying

problems and making repairs quickly. In emergency situations or abnormal

conditions, you manage data center performance issues and outages to minimize

the recovery time from failures.

As a Facilities Technician, you will operate, monitor, and support physical

facilities conditions for our data centers.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google

customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and

Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our

customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users

worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering

the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing

power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable

developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping

the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the

development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking,

Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

* Perform electrical work under FSE (High and Low Voltage) regulations,

ensuring strict adherence to the LFS (Leder for sikkerhet/Person in Charge of

Safety) duties during all High Voltage/Medium Voltage switching and earthing

operations.

* Act as the lead authority for Lockout/Tagout, application of portable and

fixed grounding/earthing switches, and verification of zero energy state

before issuing work permits to contractors.

* Author, review, and execute High Voltage/Medium Voltage Switching Plans and

Methods of Procedure for maintenance de-energization, commissioning, and grid

failover.

* Execute daily rounds, visual inspections, telemetry logging, and thermal

thermography across the outdoor 132 kilovolt yard, indoor Gas Insulated

Switchgear, dead tank circuit breakers, disconnect switches, instrument

transformers, and Neutral Grounding Resistors.

* Monitor substation MicroSCADA, Power Monitoring Systems, and

microprocessor-based protection relays, and retrieve and analyze event

records and fault oscillography following grid or switchgear disturbances.
