• Deliver Local CapEx Projects: Assist in executing local Maintenance Growth and OPS Recurring CapEx initiatives across regional facilities as required.

What You’ll Bring (Skills & Qualifications) The ideal candidate will have:

• 2–5 years of hands-on experience in critical facilities engineering, MEP retrofits, or project management within live data centers or mission-critical environments.
• Strong knowledge of data center MEP infrastructure (HV/LV distribution, UPS, generators, chillers, CRAHs, BMS/EPMS, and fire suppression) and live-site governance (MOPs, RAMS, isolation permits).
• A university degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent practical trade experience.
• Proficiency in reading CAD/BIM layouts, single-line electrical diagrams, and P&IDs.
• A calm, collaborative approach under pressure with strong organizational skills and an uncompromising commitment to safety and uptime.
