Ph3About the Role /h3 pThe Critical Environment Manager (CEM) is a key resource for technical management of operating data centers. The CEM is responsible for streamlining data center operations and maintenance as well as for removing risks in data center critical environment. They lead both recurrent (e.g. seasonal readiness) and ad-hoc technical projects to mitigate or remediate risks of experiencing loss of resilience or redundancy in data centers. /p pThe CEM collects technical data from Data4 Facility Managers and from customers to define technical roadmaps and projects. They oversee all aspects of critical environment projects, from inception to completion. This includes coordinating with cross-functional teams such as engineering, operations, and facilities management to ensure seamless project execution and minimal disruption to data center operations. They are directly accountable for ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget. /p pThey identify and mitigate risks associated with critical environment projects, such as equipment failures, power outages, or environmental threats. This involves implementing robust risk management strategies and contingency plans to minimize potential disruptions and ensure the safety and security of data center operations, e.g. summer/winter readiness plans, load failover audits, etc. They ensure that critical environment projects meet industry standards and best practices as well as regulatory requirements. They implement quality assurance (QA) processes, support QA and industry standard audits, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and certifications (e.g., Uptime Institute Tier Standards, ISO 27001). /p pThe CEM engages with external vendors, contractors, and stakeholders involved in critical environment projects. They monitor vendor performance and ensure adherence to project specifications and timelines. They stay connected to data center availability trends and proactively conduct technical audits in their data centers, based on the information gathered on technical and/or human-related failures. They foster a culture of continuous improvement and seek opportunities to reduce human errors, enhance processes, streamline operations, and leverage emerging technologies to optimize data center performance and efficiency. /p pThe CEM regularly and accurately communicates project status updates, milestones, and key metrics to external and internal stakeholders, e.g., customers, or Data4 local and global leadership. They also prepare comprehensive reports and presentations to provide insights into project performance and identify areas for improvement. They promote a culture of trust and collaboration between teams and are vocally self‑critical. They help team members in their and in other managers’ teams remove hurdles, while creating a technical vision and common goal. /p h3Responsibilities in terms of IMS Certifications /h3 ul liIMS: Respect and enforce the certification policy and be proactive in improving the Integrated Management System (IMS) with stakeholders. /li liHS: Respect and enforce health and safety rules. /li liEnvironment: Respect and enforce environmental policies. /li liInformation security: Respect and enforce information security policies. /li liEnergy: Respect and enforce the policy of energy management policy. /li /ul h3Job Specific Responsibilities /h3 ul liCollect technical data from the field (facility managers, vendors) and from customers /li liEstablish risk maps and constitute action/contingency plans to m /li liCoordinate with cross-functional teams for project execution /li liLead technical discussions with customers’ critical environment representatives and coordinate technical support within Data4 and external technical subject matter experts /li liLead recurrent and ad hoc technical projects, and ensure projects are completed on time and within budget /li liCommunicate project status to /li liEnsure projects meet industry standards and regulatory requirements /li liImplement and support quality assurance processes and audits /li liMonitor vendor performance and adherence to project specifications /li liEngage with contractors and stakeholders in critical environment projects /li liConduct technical audits based on failure data /li /ul h3Requirements /h3 h3Education and Experience /h3 ul li5+ year experience in similar position or in mission-critical operation, with background in mission critical operations, incident management and resolution /li li2+ year experience in project management or management of complex processes, e.g. factory assembly lines /li liBachelor's Degree in Electrical/Mechanical/Energy Engineering or equivalent experience /li liFluent English (B2/C1) /li /ul h3Technical Skills /h3 h3Required /h3 ul liExperience in data center operations and maintenance processes /li liKnowledge of data center infrastructure such as power distribution, cooling systems, and /li liExperience in project management and risk management /li liExperience with and learning from errors /li liAgile with IT tools – knowledge of ticketing tools such as JIRA, Grafana, Proxima or Remedy /li liKPI and metrics management and analysis /li /ul h3Preferred /h3 ul liExperience in /li liCertification from Project Management Institute or similar /li /ul h3Soft Skills /h3 ul liEffective communication – emails, phone and face to face /li liStrong work ethics and trustworthiness, capability of building a trusting relationship with peers and senior leadership /li liStrategic thinking and ability to build a multiple year vision /li liCapability of conveying strategic ideas through written documents /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
