Senior Manager, Data Center Facility Operations

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

MSP-4 is Crusoe's 20 MW AI-optimized data center in Shakopee, MN, with planned expansion to 40 MW. We're

looking for a Senior Manager, Facility Operations to own day-to-day critical infrastructure operations through this

growth phase — someone who can run a tight, high-performing team today while building the staffing and operational

model that scales cleanly as capacity doubles.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll be accountable for uptime, safety, and operational excellence across electrical,

mechanical, and controls systems supporting high-density AI compute, while also acting as the site's operational

architect as MSP-4 grows.

Own 24/7 operational readiness of all critical infrastructure: electrical distribution (switch gear, UPS,

generators, PDUs), mechanical systems (CRAH/CRAC, chillers, cooling towers, and liquid/direct-to-chip

cooling as applicable to AI density loads), fire/life safety, and BMS/EPMS monitoring platforms.

Maintain and continuously improve Methods of Procedure (MOPs), Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs),

and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Drive root cause analysis and corrective action on any incidents or near-misses; own postmortems and track

remediation to closure.

Manage preventive and predictive maintenance programs to maximize equipment reliability and minimize unplanned downtime.

Build and manage a lean, cross-trained operations team (facility engineers, technicians) sized appropriately for

a 20 MW site, with a clear plan to scale staffing, shift coverage, and skill sets as the site expands to 40 MW.

Define staffing ratios, shift structures, and on-call coverage models that balance cost efficiency with uptime risk.

Recruit, develop, and retain technical talent; identify cross-training opportunities to reduce reliance on specialized outside vendors where practical.

Manage relationships with subcontractors, vendors, and Critical Facility Managers (CFMs)/staffing partners as needed to supplement core staff.

Serve as the operations stakeholder in expansion planning — partner with Design, Construction, and

Commissioning teams to ensure new capacity is integrated without disrupting live production load.

Support integrated systems testing (IST) and commissioning of new electrical/mechanical infrastructure.

Update staffing plans, spares strategy, and maintenance programs to reflect the expanded footprint.

Champion a zero-incident safety culture; ensure compliance with OSHA, NFPA 70E,…
