Facility Engineer

Roles and Responsibilities:

1. Facility Operations & Maintenance

• Monitor and maintain critical infrastructure systems, including HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning), UPS (uninterruptible power supply), backup generators, fire suppression systems, security systems, and electrical systems.
• Conduct regular checks and preventive maintenance on equipment to ensure all systems are functioning properly and to minimize the risk of failure.
• Respond to and resolve operational issues related to building systems (e.g., power outages, cooling system failures, or water leaks).
• Coordinate with vendors for repairs, inspections, and parts replacements as needed.

2. System Performance Monitoring

• Continuously monitor performance data for electrical, mechanical, and HVAC systems to ensure they are operating efficiently and within safe parameters.
• Use building management systems (BMS) or monitoring software to track environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, airflow) and equipment status.
• Provide real-time alerts and notifications for any critical failures, anomalies, or deviations from acceptable operating conditions.

3. Preventive and Corrective Maintenance

• Develop and execute preventive maintenance (PM) schedules for all critical systems, including electrical, mechanical, and HVAC systems, to minimize unplanned downtime.
• Perform corrective maintenance on equipment failures, including troubleshooting, diagnostics, and repairs of equipment.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and local regulations for safety, efficiency, and reliability.

4. Emergency Response and Incident Management

• Serve as the primary point of contact for facility-related emergencies, including power outages, HVAC failures, and fire alarms.
• Follow emergency response protocols, including coordination with external vendors, emergency services, and internal teams to resolve critical issues and restore service as quickly as possible.
• Document incidents, root causes, and corrective actions taken to prevent future occurrences.

5. Asset Management and Tracking

• Manage inventory of spare parts, tools, and materials required for the maintenance and repair of facility systems.
• Track the lifecycle of critical assets, including purchase, installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of equipment.
• Ensure asset information is recorded and updated in the asset management system for accurate tracking and reporting.

6. Compliance and Safety

• Ensure all systems comply with relevant health, safety, and environmental regulations (e.g., OSHA, EPA) and maintain certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 27001, or other industry standards.
• Maintain the data center facility in a safe condition, implementing safety protocols and procedures for staff and visitors.
• Conduct safety drills, audits, and inspections to ensure compliance with internal safety policies and external regulatory requirements.
• Ensure that all emergency systems (e.g., fire suppression, emergency lighting, exit routes) are fully operational.

7. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

• Monitor energy usage and explore opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs while maintaining reliability.
• Recommend and implement upgrades or improvements to systems that enhance energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint (e.g., optimizing HVAC operations, improving lighting efficiency).

8. Vendor Management and Coordination

• Work closely with third-party vendors and contractors to schedule maintenance, obtain quotes, and oversee service delivery for various facility services.
• Ensure vendors meet service level agreements (SLAs) and adhere to safety, quality, and compliance standards.
• Coordinate with external parties for major repairs or upgrades to building systems (e.g., electrical, HVAC, fire suppression).

9. Documentation and Reporting

• Maintain detailed records of all maintenance activities, inspections, repairs, and incidents.
• Generate and analyze reports on system performance, energy usage, maintenance activities, and operational metrics for management review.
• Prepare and submit reports on the status of the facility, including energy efficiency, uptime, and planned maintenance activities.

Requirements:

• Minimum at least possess a Diploma or Bachelor Degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• At least 2 years of working experience in Data Centre industry or 5 years of experience in the related field.
• Possess good soft skills in communication and documentation.
• Able to contribute effective solutions to solve issues.
• Positive and aggressive working attitude, able to think critically, a good team player and able to work independently.
• Proficiency in English language is a must - spoken, written, and reading.
• Proficiency in MS Office is a must. Any other engineering-related software proficiency will be an added advantage.
• Willing to work on shift hours.
