About The Position

ECL has just changed the GAME with the introduction of the world’s first Hydrogen powered off grid green data center with 99.999 % uptime. There is massive demand for high-end Data Centers that can meet the demands that come with AI and Machine Learning requirements. What was only a futuristic idea that most thought was 10-20 years out is NOW a reality. Our end-to-end construction platform, modular architecture, is repeatable from 1-2MW’s meeting the needs of even larger data center sites. Imagine the opportunity at hand to build and deliver a Completely Green Power Generation System in this new era of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence disruptive technology advancements. How would you like to be on the ground floor of such a technological revolution. This is your chance to become part of something special as we are poised for hyper growth. ECL was founded by data center veterans from companies including Facebook, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Cisco, HPE and Bloom Energy. The Data Center Engineer (KTLO) is responsible for maintaining the continuous operational readiness of all critical infrastructure systems supporting a mission-critical data center environment. This role ensures uptime, preserves system redundancy, and enforces procedural and safety discipline across electrical, mechanical, and supporting site systems. This is an operations-focused position centered on stability, execution, and compliance. The engineer executes approved procedures, supports structured change management activities, monitors system health, and maintains audit-ready documentation in a highly controlled, high-availability environment. The role requires working knowledge of electrical distribution systems, critical cooling infrastructure (including liquid cooling technologies), structured MOP/SOP/EOP governance, and regulated operational environments. Success depends on procedural rigor, sound escalation judgment, and disciplined risk mitigation.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in mission-critical facilities or data center operations
Working knowledge of medium and low voltage electrical systems
Experience with critical cooling infrastructure
Familiarity with structured change management processes (MOP/SOP/EOP)
Experience in audited or regulated environments preferred
Ability to work in a 24/7 operational environment
Strong procedural discipline
Calm and methodical under pressure
Detail-oriented documentation practices
Clear communication and sound escalation judgment
Commitment to safety and operational integrity
