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 Data Center Operations Plant Engineer, you are a leader of exceptional
environmental practices. You will design and operate some of the most
sophisticated and efficient electrical and Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) systems using 50% less energy than most data centers around
the world. You will continually seek different approaches to reduce operational
costs while improving efficiencies through the operation and maintenance of Low
Voltage/Medium Voltage/High Voltage (LV/MV/HV) Electrical systems and control
and monitoring systems.
You have a electrical background and are a technology enthusiast who not only
enjoys being challenged by problems of scale and complexity but also has a
strong desire to make services better for users while doing better for the
environment.Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by
the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and
maintaining our data centers to building the next-generation of Google
platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our
engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we
can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have
the best and fastest experience possible.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
* Provide effective leadership for successful critical system troubleshooting,
unit commissioning, repairs/replacements with little to no supervision in
quality, quantity and timeliness as assigned.
* Operate critical plant equipment as authorized by facilities manager.
* Coordinate input for global facilities programs such as in electrical,
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), Building Management System
(BMS), energy savings, training and thermography.
