About the role

  • Serve as a subject-matter expert and strategic technical authority for infrastructure reliability across a portfolio of mission-critical data center sites.
  • Lead the design, governance, and continuous improvement of reliability strategies for power, cooling, and control systems.
  • Independently evaluate complex reliability risks, prioritize initiatives under uncertainty, and influence operational, maintenance, and capital decisions that materially impact uptime, safety, and lifecycle cost.
  • Architect and govern portfolio-level, risk-based asset strategies for mission-critical power and cooling infrastructure.
  • Apply advanced RCM principles to define maintenance and inspection strategies aligned to failure risk, system criticality, and redundancy posture.
  • Evaluate and balance tradeoffs between maintenance investment, operational risk, spares coverage, redundancy, and capital replacement.
  • Establish and maintain enterprise PM quality standards, including audits, task effectiveness reviews, and elimination of low-value maintenance.
  • Serve as a final technical authority for high-risk SOPs, MOPs, EOPs, and operational change packages.
  • Perform system-level risk assessments for planned work, incidents, and abnormal operating conditions.
  • Guide site teams in CMMS data integrity, work management maturity, and adherence to approved operating procedures.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in reliability engineering, maintenance engineering, or facilities engineering within mission-critical environments.
  • Demonstrated leadership of complex, multi-system reliability programs with measurable business impact.
  • Expert-level knowledge of RCM, FMEA, RCA, and maintenance optimization methodologies.
  • Deep technical understanding of mission-critical infrastructure, including UPS, generators, switchgear, chillers, cooling towers, CRAH/CRAC, and BMS/EPMS.
  • Proven experience governing SOP/MOP/EOP programs and assessing operational change risk in live environments.
  • Advanced ability to analyze condition-monitoring, CMMS, and operational datasets and convert insights into strategic actions.
  • Proficiency in data analysis and visualization tools (Excel, Power BI, or similar).
  • Ability to apply statistical techniques or reliability modeling to support risk-informed decision-making under uncertainty.
  • Strong executive-level communication skills; able to influence senior leaders and defend technical positions.
