• Conduct system performance audits, thermal risk assessments, and efficiency studies.

• Oversee mechanical equipment operations including (but not limited to) :
• Chillers and chiller plants
• Cooling towers and condenser water systems
• CRAC/CRAH units & In-Row/In-Rack cooling systems
• AHUs, ventilation systems, and building HVAC
• Pumps, heat exchangers, valves, and piping networks
• Fuel systems (for generators) from a mechanical perspective
• Fire suppression and water leak detection systems

• Improve resilience and uptime of mechanical systems through continuous improvement programs.
• Lead mechanical Root Cause Analyses (RCA) for cooling or mechanical incidents.
• Maintain and update mechanical schematics, sequence of operations (SOO), and emergency procedures.
• Support thermal load studies, bottleneck analysis, and cooling capacity planning.
• Evaluate redundancy strategies (N, N+1, 2N) and mechanical failover scenarios.
• Review and approve mechanical designs, technical drawings, method statements, and shop drawings.
• Serve as SME for construction, renovation, and expansion projects involving mechanical systems.
• Participate in FAT, SAT, IST, and integrated cooling system performance testing.
• Ensure all new installations meet safety, efficiency, and uptime requirements.
• Ensure compliance with all relevant standards and codes (ASHRAE, ISO, NFPA, local building and mechanical codes).
• Enforce mechanical safety protocols and review risk assessments and PTW/LOTO processes as applicable.
• Maintain accurate mechanical documentation, system reports, performance logs, and audit records.

Qualities We Value
