About The Position

Genesis10 is seeking a Data Center Infrastructure Engineer for a hybrid role with a Global Financial Institution in Chandler, AZ. This is a contract-to-hire opportunity. The role focuses on designing, maintaining, improving, and expanding the physical infrastructure of a data center, not the IT hardware or software. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of critical power and cooling systems, capacity management, infrastructure projects, and operational resiliency. This role requires candidates who do not require sponsorship now or in the future.

Strong working knowledge of data center critical infrastructure, including mechanical, electrical, and/or structured cabling systems, with an engineering or technical discipline background
Experience supporting budgets and cost controls for data center projects and infrastructure operations, including exposure to capital projects and vendor cost management
Demonstrated experience partnering with Real Estate, Critical Systems, Construction, and Technology teams to deliver infrastructure projects and operational outcomes
Proven ability to lead or significantly contribute to data center infrastructure engineering and design activities, including interpreting design standards, supporting technical contract requirements, and identifying implementation risks
Experience delivering technical solutions that meet defined availability, redundancy, quality, and budget requirements
Track record of leading or managing projects with measurable impact on infrastructure reliability, efficiency, or standardization within a region, portfolio, or functional domain
Experience applying established engineering standards, operational procedures, and best practices, and contributing to continuous process improvements
Professional experience working within a large, complex, and preferably global organization, with demonstrated ability to collaborate across teams and functions
Experience managing or working closely with geographically distributed and culturally diverse teams
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical and operational information clearly to peers and management
Ability to operate effectively within a matrixed organizational environment and balance competing priorities
