Description

We are seeking a Facilities Operations Manager to support the commissioning, operational readiness, and long-term operation of next-generation AI data center campuses.

This role sits at the intersection of construction, commissioning, hardware deployment, and facilities operations. You will be responsible for ensuring mission-critical infrastructure is prepared to support hardware deployment, transitioned successfully into production operations, and maintained to the highest standards of reliability and availability.

Key responsibilities include leading day-to-day operations of mission-critical facility infrastructure across AI compute campuses, owning operational readiness activities supporting new campus deployments and infrastructure expansion, and partnering with commissioning teams to transition facilities from construction and startup into steady-state operations.

The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of experience operating mission-critical facilities, data centers, industrial infrastructure, or large-scale technical operations environments, possess strong knowledge of electrical distribution systems, generators, UPS systems, cooling systems, and building controls, and have experience supporting commissioning, operational readiness, or infrastructure turnover programs.

Additional preferred skills include experience supporting hyperscale, cloud, AI, HPC, or mission-critical data center environments, experience with liquid cooling systems and high-density compute deployments, familiarity with reliability engineering methodologies, root cause analysis, and preventative maintenance programs, and experience working across construction, commissioning, engineering, and operations organizations.
