AI Summary
Senior Field Technician responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing mission-critical cooling systems—chillers, CRAH/CRAC units, chilled water, pumps, and HVAC controls—at data centers across the U.S., while mentoring junior technicians and responding to emergency calls.
About this role
Location: U.S.-based | This is a travel-based, onsite role and may be based anywhere in the United States.
Data Center Solutions (DCS) is looking for an experienced Senior Field Technician to keep the cooling systems behind North America's most critical data centers running around the clock. If you know your way inside a chiller, live for the challenge of a tricky troubleshoot, and want to be the person facility teams call when it really matters, this is your next role.
You'll work hands-on with portable and mobile chillers, CRAH and CRAC units, chilled water systems, pumps, hydronic systems, and HVAC controls, while also mentoring the next generation of technicians in the field.
