• Demonstrated experience writing and reviewing Root Cause Analysis (RCA) documents for critical incidents.

• Familiarity with industry standards and codes such as NEC, NFPA, IEEE, and ASHRAE.
• Experience participating in maintenance, upgrades, and expansions of live data center environments.
• Willingness to travel up to 40% and participate in an on-call rotation for emergency response.

Preferred:
