Facilities Manager

Harper Harrison

A leading digital infrastructure operator is seeking a Senior Facility Manager to oversee mission critical operations across a large-scale hyperscale campus in the greater Aurora market.

This individual will play a key leadership role across a multi-building campus environment, managing facility operations, engineering teams, vendor coordination, operational reliability, and ongoing site performance within a high-availability data center environment. The position offers the opportunity to oversee a significant live critical infrastructure footprint while helping drive team development, operational excellence, and long-term campus performance.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong combination of technical data center operations expertise, team leadership, operational oversight, and people management capabilities within mission critical environments.

Responsibilities

  • Lead facility operations across a multi-building hyperscale data center campus
  • Oversee a large-scale operational critical infrastructure environment
  • Manage and mentor a team of facility and engineering professionals, including multiple direct reports
  • Drive operational excellence across maintenance, uptime, reliability, compliance, and critical environment management
  • Partner closely with internal leadership, vendors, contractors, and cross-functional operational teams
  • Support staffing development through a coaching and mentoring leadership approach
  • Provide oversight of vendor management, preventative maintenance, and critical systems performance
  • Assist with operational planning, reporting, process improvements, and campus-wide coordination initiatives
  • Participate in corporate leadership summits, meetings, and operational reviews as needed
  • Ensure strong communication and leadership presence across all levels of the organization

Ideal Background

  • Prior data center facilities or mission critical operations experience is required
  • Strong leadership background managing engineering or facility operations teams within live critical environments
  • Experience overseeing large-scale data center infrastructure and campus operations
  • Ability to lead through collaboration, mentorship, and team development rather than rigid management styles
  • Strong understanding of critical infrastructure systems, operational reliability, and facility management best practices
  • Experience managing multiple buildings or large campus-style operations preferred
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management capabilities
  • Stable career progression within mission critical, hyperscale, colocation, or data center operations environments

Compensation & Logistics

  • Competitive base salary and bonus structure
  • Long-term incentive eligibility
  • Fully onsite role requiring 5 days/week onsite presence
  • Limited travel required for corporate meetings and leadership summits

Additional Considerations

  • Data center experience is considered a non-negotiable requirement for the position
  • Candidates without deep operational data center experience are unlikely to be considered
  • Candidates currently supporting projects through third-party relationships should be carefully vetted for potential conflicts
  • Strong emphasis on leadership adaptability, mentorship, and team-oriented management style

Why This Opportunity?

  • Opportunity to oversee a large-scale hyperscale campus environment with significant operational responsibility
  • Strong visibility within a rapidly growing digital infrastructure organization
  • Leadership role with direct influence on operational performance and team development
  • Exposure to enterprise-scale mission critical operations within a high-growth market
  • Competitive compensation structure with long-term growth potential
