Crusoe

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence . As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

About This Role:

  • Contractor & Vendor Management: Manage contractor services to ensure quality work product and maintain strong relationships with critical infrastructure vendors.
  • Response: Participate in an on-call rotation to address emergency issues and provide notification of maintenance activities to appropriate departments.
What You’ll Bring to the Team:
  • Technical Proficiency: Proficient knowledge of IT systems, network infrastructure, and the electrical/mechanical systems used in a data center environment.
  • Infrastructure Expertise: Understanding of Transformers, PLCs, Generators, Switchgear, UPS systems, STS, ATS, PDUs, Chilled Water Systems, and Fire Suppression systems.
  • Data Analysis: Experience with data trending and analysis, including the ability to rapidly learn and use PC-based integrated critical monitoring systems (EPMS/BMS).
  • Safety Mastery: Expert knowledge in industrial safety best practices, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) , Arc Flash protection (NFPA 70E), and OSHA regulations.
  • Hands-on Background: Strong technical background with experience on computer/network gear as well as support infrastructure (HVAC and electrical).
  • Safety and Compliance: This position is designated a safety-sensitive position and/or is located in a safety-sensitive facility. Drug and alcohol program participation is required.
Bonus Points:
  • Prior experience in a "Mission Critical" environment (e.g., data centers, hospitals, or power plants).

  • Experience with industrial control systems and PLC programming.
