Senior Manager, Data Center Operations — Critical Environments (Multi-Site)

Oracle•Abilene, TX

About The Position

Lead multi-site Critical Environments operations, ensuring safe, consistent execution across electrical and mechanical infrastructure that powers and cools Oracle’s cloud (power distribution, UPS, generators, switchgear, cooling plants/CRAHs, controls/BMS, and airflow/containment) across multiple data center locations. Responsibilities What you’ll do Lead multi-site Critical Environments operations, ensuring rigorous execution across electrical and mechanical infrastructure (power distribution, UPS, generators, switchgear, cooling plants, pumps/CRAHs/CRACs, controls/BMS, containment/airflow). Set the operational cadence (site health reviews, PM/CM execution, MOP/SOP/EOP readiness, risk registers, KPI reviews) to prevent downtime and reduce operational risk. Direct response to CE events and escalations—coordinating rapid triage, clear communications, safe restoration, and post-incident follow-through. Drive disciplined RCA/CAPA , ensuring corrective actions are prioritized, tracked, verified, and embedded into standard work. Standardize processes, documentation, and knowledge management so shifts and sites operate consistently to world-class CE standards. Partner with Engineering and Projects to support new builds and expansions , ensuring CE design intent is operationalized (commissioning readiness, handoff criteria, spares strategy, training, and runbook completeness). Identify opportunities for automation and monitoring improvements (alarms, trending, predictive maintenance signals) to improve time-to-detect and prevent repeat events. What you’ll own Availability and facilities risk posture across a portfolio of data centers—owning execution that protects uptime and life-safety. Capacity visibility for power and cooling (and associated constraints), providing actionable inputs to portfolio planning and expansion readiness. Maintenance excellence: PM quality, repair execution, vendor coordination, and lifecycle planning that improves reliability and reduces avoidable events. Operational readiness artifacts: MOP/SOP/EOP quality, change control rigor, lockout/tagout alignment, and a high-integrity CE knowledge base. Efficiency and stability improvements (airflow/containment, pressure management, power-train resilience, control system tuning) that strengthen long-term performance. People leadership: coaching CE managers/leads and technicians; performance management; hiring and development of a high-performing, safety-first CE organization. Why it matters Oracle Cloud Infrastructure supports always-on services where reliability is non-negotiable. Critical Environments is the foundation—when power or cooling is unstable, everything is at risk. This role is a hands-on operational leadership position with direct impact on uptime, safety, and the ability to scale. You’ll turn facility signals into preventative action, lead through high-stakes events, and raise operational maturity across multiple sites. Why Abilene Abilene is a key, growing location in Oracle’s data center footprint—offering meaningful ownership and visibility. You’ll lead critical infrastructure operations today while helping bring additional capacity online with the operational rigor required for world-class reliability. For CE leaders who want to build, improve, and operate at scale, Abilene offers an opportunity to make a measurable impact.
