Critical Facilities Technician

Critical Facilities Technician

A fast-growing global data centre operator is looking for Critical Facilities Technicians to join their Frankfurt team. You'll take responsibility for the safe, reliable operation of mission-critical infrastructure, covering energy isolation, switch activity, and facility rounds as part of a 24/7 shift-based operations team.

This is a genuine opportunity to build a career in critical facilities with a business that's scaling fast, working across electrical, mechanical, HVAC, and life safety systems on live, operational sites. There's a clear progression path built into the role, from mastering rounds and troubleshooting through to mentoring junior staff and stepping up into Senior or Lead Technician positions.

If you're already operating in a shift-based critical environment and want to build genuine depth in switchgear operations, energy isolation, and incident response, this is a strong next step.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct facility rounds across electrical, mechanical, HVAC, and fire/life safety systems
• Monitor BMS/EPMS platforms and respond to alarms per SOPs
• Execute energy isolation procedures, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
• Perform and document switchgear operations, including breaker racking and panel isolations
• Support incident response, including root cause analysis and after-action reporting
• Maintain accurate documentation for rounds, isolations, and maintenance tasks

Skills/Must have:

• 2+ years of experience in mission-critical environments (data center, hospital, industrial plant, etc.)
• Demonstrated experience with energy isolation, LOTO, and switchgear operations
• Strong understanding of electrical and mechanical systems (UPS, generators, switchgear, CRAC/CRAH)
• Ability to work shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays
• EU passport holders considered; English fluent, German not required
