Data Center Senior Facilities Service Manager - Mechanical; M3

People Manager

This role is focused on service execution, uptime protection, mean time to repair reduction, and long-term asset performance rather than mechanical system design. A key objective of this position is to build, lead, and continuously improve an in-house self-perform maintenance program, ensuring the team has the capability, processes, and discipline to safely execute maintenance and troubleshooting activities in a mission-critical environment.

This position requires U.S. citizenship and is located onsite in Saline, Michigan. Relocation assistance may be available in accordance with Oracle's relocation policies.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the onsite mechanical facilities technician team responsible for maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, and service execution for mission-critical cooling and HVAC systems.
• Serve as the direct manager for Mechanical Facilities Technicians, providing day-to-day leadership, work prioritization, coaching, performance management, and development.
• Build and lead an in-house self-perform maintenance program for mechanical systems, including planning, training, execution standards, and continuous improvement.
• Oversee maintenance and service execution for large-scale mechanical and cooling infrastructure, including chillers, CRAH/CRAC units, pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers, piping systems, and associated controls interfaces.
• Manage vendors, contractors, and internal service teams, enforcing SLAs, workmanship standards, response expectations, and safe execution practices.
• Track system health, equipment reliability, energy performance, maintenance effectiveness, and service execution metrics, using data to improve uptime and reduce repeat failures.
• Own mechanical safety programs, regulatory compliance, and technician training related to maintenance execution, refrigerant handling, contractor oversight, and safe work practices.
• Support incident response, service restoration, capacity changes, maintenance planning, and post-event reviews to strengthen reliability and execution discipline.
• Partner closely with Facility Managers, Engineering, Reliability, Controls, Construction, and Commissioning teams to ensure effective handoffs, operational readiness, and maintainability of installed systems.
• Drive continuous improvement in maintenance procedures, spare parts readiness, documentation quality, technician capability, and service response standards.
• Ensure the site is prepared to support 24/7 mission-critical operations through proper staffing, escalation readiness, training, and maintenance planning.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 3–5+ years of experience in HVAC, mechanical service, critical facilities maintenance, or related uptime-critical environments such as data centers, healthcare, industrial plants, semiconductor, or large commercial infrastructure.
• 1–3+ years of experience leading technicians, service teams, or field maintenance operations.
• Strong practical understanding of large-scale cooling systems, HVAC service operations, controls interfaces, redundancy strategies, and energy-performance considerations.
• Experience managing maintenance execution, vendor performance, technician development, and incident response in operational environments.
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, HVAC technology, facilities management, or related field preferred; equivalent technical and field leadership experience also valued.

Skills and Competencies

• Strong crisis management and service leadership in high-availability environments.
• Proven ability to improve maintenance quality, service reliability, and execution discipline.
• Strong people leadership with the ability to develop technicians and reinforce accountability.
• Clear communicator who can coordinate across operations, engineering, and vendor teams.
• Strong operational judgment and ability to prioritize in time-sensitive situations.

Preferred Skills / Certifications

• Experience with mission-critical cooling infrastructure including chillers, CRAH/CRAC systems, pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers, valves, and mechanical distribution systems.
• Familiarity with BMS/controls integration, alarm response, trend analysis, and service coordination with automation teams.
• Experience with preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, CMMS systems, energy optimization, and service KPI tracking.
• EPA Section 608 Certification preferred where refrigerant-handling responsibilities apply.
• HVAC trade license or mechanical certification where applicable.
• OEM training or manufacturer certifications related to chillers, cooling systems, controls platforms, or critical mechanical equipment preferred.
• OSHA 30 preferred.

Physical Demands / Work Environment This is a mission-critical onsite role supporting 24/7 operations where continuous uptime is essential; as such, regular attendance, schedule flexibility, and response readiness are required. To perform these duties, you must be able to frequently walk, bend, kneel, crouch, push/pull objects, and climb…
