Eligibility and Location Requirements

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

Support and improve mechanical and HVAC architectures and designs for high‑availability environments, including chilled water, DX, airside systems, and redundancy strategies.

Perform troubleshooting activities, incident investigations, and root cause analysis for mechanical and HVAC equipment or system issues.

Support capacity planning, retrofits, and operational initiatives, ensuring operability and maintainability of installed systems.

Partner with site operations teams to improve maintainability, safe execution of work, and documentation quality for mechanical and HVAC systems.

Support vendor technical reviews, commissioning activities, and operational handover requirements.

Coordinate with internal teams and external stakeholders to improve performance, consistency, and lifecycle outcomes across sites.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Experience with mission‑critical, industrial, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, healthcare, or large commercial mechanical systems.

Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, P&IDs, sequences of operation, and equipment documentation.

Working knowledge of chilled water systems, DX cooling, controls integration, redundancy concepts, and operational risk.

Technical certification, trade experience, apprenticeship completion, or equivalent practical experience preferred.

Skills and Competencies

Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic capability.

Solid ownership and accountability in day‑to‑day operations.

Good operational judgment in time‑sensitive situations.
