• Experience in data centers, mission-critical facilities, or critical power environments.
• Comfortable working on systems where uptime, redundancy, and safety are critical.

The role involves working in data centers and mission-critical environments where uptime, redundancy, and safety are crucial. Travel time and expenses are covered, with a daily per diem provided.
