Career Opportunity
We're looking for curious, proactive professionals who thrive in environments where safety, precision, and teamwork are everything. If you're passionate about complex systems, committed to doing things the right way, and excited to be part of a company that values your insight and encourages innovation, then this is the opportunity for you.
As a Core Operations Technician (COT), you'll be one of the most trusted eyes and ears on the ground. You'll play a critical role in keeping our systems running smoothly and safely-monitoring data center conditions, leading vendor operations, and acting as a first responder when something doesn't look right. More than that, you'll help shape the future of EdgeCore's operational excellence.
- Serve as a safety-first responder with a strong understanding of how the data center should operate, particularly in relation to critical cooling and electrical systems. During operational events, identify issues and intervene safely and effectively when systems are not functioning as intended.
- Proactively monitor data center infrastructure to detect operational issues and emerging trends that could impact performance or reliability.
- Oversee daily vendor activities to ensure all contracted work is completed safely, accurately, and in alignment with EdgeCore's standards.

- Utilize CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) to track and document work as prescribed.
- Manage assets, spare parts and critical tools through provided systems such as CMMS.
- Support Client IT deployments and decommissioning with power and cooling tasks.
- Author, review and utilize formal procedures in the operation of the data center. We expect our team to employ rigorous procedural formality in all critical data center operations and need people to champion the approach.
- Frequently steward, supervise, and communicate with contractors.
- Work with the Core Operations Site Manager to execute a condition-based maintenance program.
- As a COT, it is unlikely but possible to be on-call outside of normal working hours.
- Taking on other duties as assigned by EdgeCore. Job duties, roles, and responsibilities are subject to change over time.
