• Have a complete knowledge of Mean Time Between Failure, Mean Time To Repair, reliability, maintainability and/or concurrent maintainability as they apply to critical electrical systems
• Ability to identify single points of failure in mission critical electrical infrastructure systems and provide potential risk mitigation options.
• BA/BS from an accredited College/University. Engineering or Computer Science degree is a plus.
• Ability to analyze infrastructure designs and identify them down to component levels for purposes of categorizing and identifying typical mission critical facility design approaches as practiced in the industry.
• Ability to use standard Windows based software applications (MS Word, Excel, Power Point, etc.
• Ability to pass a background check prior to offer letter
• Ability to perform base power calculations from observed or supplied data: i.e., power (in kilowatts), cooling (in tons or kilowatts), KVA, power factors, power per area (watts per square foot or meter).
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions relating to technical materials and presentations.
• Ability to evaluate maintenance management process and/or systems in use to ensure proper maintenance management.
• Ability to collect and record operational data from mechanical equipment, chillers, control panels, CRAC and CRAH units, piping pressure and temperature gages and similar facility infrastructure metering stations.
• Possess the skills required to assess the condition and success of maintenance processes employed in the critical facility.
• Ability to understand Mean Time Between Failure, Mean Time To Repair, reliability, maintainability and/or concurrent maintainability, as they apply to critical mechanical systems.
• Ability to assess the condition of maintenance processes employed in the critical facility.
• Must be able to correctly determine the loading concept of redundant systems and accurately calculate the maximum load capability based on the redundant concept presently deployed in the facility.
• Ability to safely work in facility infrastructure spaces without injury to self or others.
• Must be able to understand maintenance staffing plans and skill requirements.
• Must be fully competent in the skills required to correctly interpret a mechanical one-line drawing reflecting facility HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning) systems typically employed in mission critical facilities from critical space cooling systems to the point of final heat rejection to atmosphere.
