Senior Manager, Data Center Operations — Critical Environments (role based in Abilene, TX)
Salary
$126k–$264k/ annually
Application completed on Oracle
About This Role
* Role is based in Abilene, TX. If not already based in Abilene, TX relocation
is required.
* Lead multi-site Critical Environments operations, ensuring safe, consistent
execution across electrical and mechanical infrastructure that powers and
cools Oracle’s cloud (power distribution, UPS, generators, switchgear,
cooling plants/CRAHs, controls/BMS, and airflow/containment) across multiple
data center locations.
RESPONSIBILITIES
WHAT YOU’LL DO
* Lead multi-site Critical Environments operations, ensuring rigorous execution
across electrical and mechanical infrastructure (power distribution, UPS,
generators, switchgear, cooling plants, pumps/CRAHs/CRACs, controls/BMS,
containment/airflow).
* Set the operational cadence (site health reviews, PM/CM execution,
MOP/SOP/EOP readiness, risk registers, KPI reviews) to prevent downtime and
reduce operational risk.
* Direct response to CE events and escalations—coordinating rapid triage, clear
communications, safe restoration, and post-incident follow-through.
* Drive disciplined RCA/CAPA, ensuring corrective actions are prioritized,
tracked, verified, and embedded into standard work.
* Standardize processes, documentation, and knowledge management so shifts and
sites operate consistently to world-class CE standards.
* Partner with Engineering and Projects to support new builds and expansions,
ensuring CE design intent is operationalized (commissioning readiness,
handoff criteria, spares strategy, training, and runbook completeness).
* Identify opportunities for automation and monitoring improvements (alarms,
trending, predictive maintenance signals) to improve time-to-detect and
prevent repeat events.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
* Availability and facilities risk posture across a portfolio of data
centers—owning execution that protects uptime and life-safety.
* Capacity visibility for power and cooling (and associated constraints),
providing actionable inputs to portfolio planning and expansion readiness.
* Maintenance excellence: PM quality, repair execution, vendor coordination,
and lifecycle planning that improves reliability and reduces avoidable
events.
* Operational readiness artifacts: MOP/SOP/EOP quality, change control rigor,
lockout/tagout alignment, and a high-integrity CE knowledge base.
* Efficiency and stability improvements (airflow/containment, pressure
management, power-train resilience, control system tuning) that strengthen
long-term performance.
* People leadership: coaching CE managers/leads and technicians; performance
management; hiring and development of a high-performing, safety-first CE
organization.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY IT MATTERS
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure supports always-on services where reliability is
non-negotiable. Critical Environments is the foundation—when power or cooling is
unstable, everything is at risk. This role is a hands-on operational leadership
position with direct impact on uptime, safety, and the ability to scale. You’ll
turn facility signals into preventative action, lead through high-stakes events,
and raise operational maturity across multiple sites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY ABILENE
Abilene is a key, growing location in Oracle’s data center footprint—offering
meaningful ownership and visibility. You’ll lead critical infrastructure
operations today while helping bring additional capacity online with the
operational rigor required for world-class reliability. For CE leaders who want
to build, improve, and operate at scale, Abilene offers an opportunity to make a
measurable impact.
