Data Center Facilities Engineer, Electrical

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 facility conditions. You will handle 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.
