  • Provide leadership and management for the design of mechanical system upgrades, expansions, and installations, ensuring they meet the necessary operational standards, timelines, and budget requirements.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to plan and execute mechanical system changes that align with data center growth or operational efficiency goals.
  • Provide process and policy direction to ensure mechanical systems meet all regulatory, safety, and environmental standards, such as ASHRAE guidelines, local building codes, and OSHA safety requirements.
  • Conduct regular audits and inspections of mechanical equipment to ensure safety and compliance with all regulations and company policies.
  • Provide guidance to site teams to maintain detailed records of mechanical system performance, inspections, maintenance, repairs, and upgrades.
  • Prepare and deliver regular reports on system performance, incidents, and suggested improvements to senior management.
