The Building Operator role is based at the Royal Bank Plaza in downtown Toronto and supports the TRDC Data Centre. The incumbent provides critical technical services, maintains uptime for all essential systems, and ensures smooth operation of the control centre, UPS, BAS, mechanical plant, water treatment, fire alarm, electrical, and EPGS platforms.
Daily duties include monitoring system performance, conducting inspections and rounds, recording data, and following standard operating and emergency procedures.
