Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Data Center Operator to join our growing infrastructure team. This role is ideal for candidates with hands-on data center experience, particularly on the facility and operations side, who are looking to grow into a senior-level role. You will support daily data center operations across multiple buildings, ensuring operational readiness, organization, cleanliness, and cross-team support within a 24/7 environment.
This position offers a clear growth path into a Senior Data Center Operator role through hands-on experience, coaching, and exposure to large-scale data center projects.

Required Skills & Experience

• Hands-on experience with computer hardware installation and basic desktop/service desk troubleshooting.
• Ability to safely lift and carry up to 50 pounds.

• Strong ability to prioritize tasks and independently execute weekly and monthly operational assignments.
• Willingness to work in active data center environments involving walking, standing, and variable temperatures.

Nice to Have Skills & Experience

• Prior experience supporting or working on a senior data center team.
