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.

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

electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are an upbeat, creative,

team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful

data centers.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

* Responsible for the uptime, maintenance, operation, troubleshooting, and

repair of mechanical equipment in a data center environment. Provide root

cause analysis (RCA), recovery and prevention actions for service failure.

* Prepare and execute operation procedures, respond to work request/service

failure and provide operational and technical expertise in required areas.

* Lead/support startup, commissioning, and integration of new equipment and

systems into facilities infrastructure, and coordinate vendor support for

repairs and project implementation. 

* Improve site water usage effectiveness (WUE) and power usage

effectiveness (PUE), operational efficiency, and minimize environmental

impact.

* Ensure compliance with all site environmental health and safety policies.
