Indonesia's digital infrastructure is being built right now, and Day One is at the centre of it. As Shift Lead for Critical Infrastructure Operations, you will be one of the people making sure it stays running. This is a leadership role on the facility operations floor of Batam's first hyperscale data center. The systems your team runs are electrical and mechanical: power distribution, generators, UPS, switch gear, chillers, and fire suppression.

This is a facilities engineering role, not an IT, networking, or server support role. You will lead a team of shift technicians through every hour of the shift, keeping critical plant running, resolving issues before they escalation, and handing over a facility that is in better shape than when you arrived. The decisions you make here directly protect the digital services that enterprises and businesses across the region depend on.

• Lead and manage a team of shift technicians, ensuring they perform their duties effectively and safely
• Provide guidance and support to team members, building a collaborative and high-performing shift culture
• Conduct regular performance reviews and give feedback that helps people grow in the role

• Ensure all electrical and mechanical plant runs smoothly and efficiently throughout your shift
• Monitor critical power and cooling systems through the Building Management System (BMS), identify potential issues early, and act before they become problems
• Coordinate with other departments and stakeholders to resolve operational challenges quickly and cleanly

• Prepare detailed shift handover reports documenting all relevant information, incidents, and actions taken
• Ensure handover reports are complete and communicated effectively before the end of each shift
• Lead shift handover meetings to brief the incoming team on current status and any ongoing issues

• Ensure full compliance with safety protocols, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and regulatory requirements at all times
• Conduct regular safety drills and training sessions for your shift team
• Report and document any safety incidents or near-misses promptly and accurately

• Provide hands-on technical assistance to your team on power, cooling, and fire suppression systems as needed
• Troubleshoot and resolve plant and equipment issues that arise during the shift
• Coordinate with vendors and specialist teams for complex problem resolution

• Identify opportunities for process improvements and operational efficiencies
• Implement best practices and improvement initiatives within your shift team
• Participate in training and development programmes to build your own skills and those of the people around you

• Hands-on experience operating and maintaining electrical or mechanical plant such as generators, UPS, switch gear, chillers, cooling towers, or fire suppression systems
• Experience gained in a data center, power plant, utility,…
