Digital Operations Transformation Specialist

The Digital Operations Transformation Specialist is a key technical contributor within DATA4's Global Operations Transformation team. This role is responsible for designing, integrating, and maintaining digital tools and platforms that enhance automation, operational visibility, and data-driven decision-making across our data center environments.

You will operate at the intersection of engineering, operations, and data, working closely with cross-functional teams to connect and optimize core operational systems. These include Building Management Systems (BMS) for environmental and facility monitoring, Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) for asset tracking and preventive maintenance, and Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) platforms for incident, request, and change workflows.

In addition, you will leverage analytics platforms to deliver dashboards and reports that improve real-time visibility into operational performance.

The role focuses on building lightweight, practical solutions-such as scripts, integrations, data pipelines, queries, and dashboards-that enable field teams and operations leaders to work more efficiently. You will identify areas where automation can reduce manual effort, improve process consistency, and deliver measurable outcomes. This includes developing and maintaining custom tooling, configuring interfaces between platforms, and creating supporting documentation and standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Success in this role requires strong technical fluency, an understanding of facility operations, and a pragmatic engineering mindset. You should be comfortable working in high-availability environments, translating operational requirements into digital solutions, and supporting systems that directly impact performance, compliance, and energy efficiency across our data centers., Engineering & Technical Delivery
