The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and HVAC systems in the world. Facility Technicians at Google data centers operate, monitor and support physical facilities conditions. Some duties will include 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). You'll provide daily assistance to senior technicians as you read blueprints/schematics, conduct tours of systems and assess their working order.

You will 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.

In this role, you will assess technical matters, address performance issues, and support technical teams to minimize downtime while maintaining high Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) standards. You will review operational budgets, expense forecasts, and performance metrics to ensure cost-effective strategies.

Other regular tasks include managing vendor performance and agreements, aligning goals with partners, and developing and delivering project management for internal and global initiatives. You'll work on emergency preparedness, operational excellence, and strategic planning.

You will be ready to lead the response to critical events and ensure high facility availability. Additionally, you will lead regulatory and customer audits, ensure compliance, and participate in community events to drive talent acquisition and retention.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
