- Maintain compliance with manufacturer recommendations, site standards, and mission critical maintenance procedures.
Equipment Assessment & Reliability Analysis
- Conduct detailed equipment inspections and condition assessments to identify developing failures and potential operational risks.
- Utilize BAS/BMS platforms, trend data, operating histories, alarms, and system performance metrics to evaluate equipment health and reliability.
- Analyze temperatures, pressures, airflow, electrical readings, vibration indicators, and operating conditions to identify performance concerns.
- Investigate recurring equipment issues, identify contributing factors, and recommend corrective actions to improve reliability and system availability.
- Support long-term equipment lifecycle planning through condition reporting and maintenance recommendations.
HVAC Systems Optimization
- Evaluate cooling system performance and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reliability, and operational effectiveness.
- Support optimization of mission critical cooling systems through analysis of control sequences, equipment operating parameters, and system performance data.
- Assist with implementation and verification of system improvements, modifications, and equipment upgrades.
- Monitor and evaluate HVAC control strategies to support operational stability and uptime requirements.
Advanced Diagnostics & Technical Support
- Perform advanced diagnostics on HVAC, refrigeration, chilled water, electrical, and HVAC control systems.
- Troubleshoot complex issues involving CRAC units, CRAH units, chillers, pumps, VFDs, and BAS/BMS controlled equipment.
- Conduct root cause investigations of equipment failures and recurring operational issues.
- When preventive maintenance activities and reliability-focused responsibilities permit, assist service technicians with equipment troubleshooting, diagnostics, and repair activities in support of operational priorities, system reliability, and customer needs.
- Coordinate with manufacturers, vendors, service providers, and facility members to support resolution of complex technical challenges.
- Serve as a technical resource regarding equipment condition, maintenance planning, and system performance assessments.
Mission Critical Infrastructure Support
- Support the operation and maintenance of redundant cooling systems and critical facility infrastructure.
- Maintain environmental control systems necessary to support data center uptime and operational continuity.
- Ensure work activities comply with site operating procedures, maintenance standards, and critical environment protocols.
