Building Engineering Lead

The Data Center Building Engineer Lead is responsible for ensuring all electrical, mechanical, and fire/life safety systems operate at peak efficiency to support 100% uptime. This role serves as the primary point of accountability for facility operations within the data center, overseeing preventative maintenance, corrective work, and emergency response activities.

Reporting to the Director of Operations, the Lead Building Engineer leads a team of Critical Facilities Engineers (CFEs), managing work order execution, training programs, event coordination, customer communication, and team performance. The Building Engineer also serves as the primary technical resource for onsite Engineering Operations Technicians (EOT) and third-party vendors.

This position is best suited for a seasoned professional with demonstrated experience in critical facilities who can lead by example and drive operational excellence across the site.
