Data Center Plant Engineer

Data Center Plant Engineer

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.

In this role, you are a leader of environmental practices. The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most efficient electrical and HVAC systems using less energy than most data centers around the world. Our engineers are continually seeking different approaches to reducing operational costs while improving efficiencies through the operation and maintenance of LV/MV/HV electrical systems and control and monitoring systems.

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:

• Inspect, maintain, and repair various data center systems.
• 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.
• Provide coordination/input for global facilities programs such as in electrical, CMMS, BMS, energy savings, training and thermography.
• Respond to critical data center events, alarms and be responsible for being a point of escalation on operational issues.
