  • Use of personal vehicle required (all tools provided on-site)
  • Company credit card provided for fuel and work-related meals

On-Call & Scheduling

  • This is an on-call position, requiring availability for urgent service needs
  • Technicians may schedule PTO and blackout dates (e.g., weddings, personal events) in advance
  • When not on active calls, technicians will focus on preventive maintenance and system monitoring

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with PDU systems (Power Distribution Units)
  • Prior experience working in data center environments (strongly preferred)
  • Working knowledge of low- and medium-voltage electrical systems
  • Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills
  • Ability to work independently in time-sensitive situations
  • Valid driver’s license and reliable personal vehicle

Compensation & Benefits

  • Hourly pay: $40–$45/hour (based on experience)
  • Overtime paid at 1.5x
