About The Position

The Facilities Operations Manager – Electrical leads the safe, reliable, and compliant operation of mission-critical electrical systems supporting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure data centers.

The role is full-time and onsite at Project Frontier in Abilene, Texas, and focuses on day-to-day plant operations and field execution rather than primary design authority.
