Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Director, Data Center Infrastructure Management, Intelligence & Controls - **Company:** Flexential Corp. - **Location:** Denver, CO, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $195,000.0 - $235,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Configuration Management Databases, Data Centers, Data Governance, Data Integrity, Data Center Infrastructure Management (CIM), Modbus, Operational Data Store, Simple Network Management Protocols, Systems Integration, Bacnet - **Published:** July 19, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=70b2cf436f31164f ## About the Role * Hands-on leadership of controls, BAS, DCIM, capacity engineering, or telemetry teams in mission-critical environments. * Deep, practical command of BAS and controls, telemetry, and DCIM; you can read a trend log, a one-line, and a capacity model and know what they are telling you. * Strong grasp of MEP systems, switchgear, UPS, generators, chillers, CRAH and CRAC units, and PDUs, and how they behave under load and during failover. * Working knowledge of colocation capacity mechanics: reserves, utilization, and PUE-based billing. * Experience with DCIM and branch-circuit and environmental monitoring, and integrating systems over BACnet, Modbus, and SNMP. * A record of inheriting complex environments and leaving them measurably better, with cleaner data, calmer floors, and stronger teams, plus credibility with frontline technicians and shift leads. ## Description The Senior Director, Data Center Intelligence & Controls owns the systems, data, and controls that tell us how every facility is performing: capacity, power topology, telemetry, controls, and the operational metrics the business bills and reports on. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can step into a complex, fast-moving environment, take ownership of the DCIM, capacity engineering, controls, and telemetry functions, and make them trustworthy, well-run, and resilient. You will stabilize the teams, harden the data behind billing and capacity decisions, make the function well-documented and resilient, and build the operational foundation for a software-defined, digital-twin future. It is high-impact work with a clear line of sight to defining how Flexential runs its fleet., * Own the system of record. Take ownership of the DCIM platform as the authoritative source for capacity, assets, power topology, and facility state, and keep it accurate and trusted across operations, engineering, sales, and finance. * Harden data quality. Establish telemetry standards, point naming, and data-quality governance, and grade data health so issues are found and fixed before they cause revenue loss or bad decisions. * Drive consolidation. Begin unifying the configuration management database and integrating disconnected systems toward a single source of operational truth. Capacity Engineering and Commercial Support * Run capacity and forecasting. Own capacity planning, forecasting, and optimization across power, space, and cooling, including utility load-ramp forecasts. * Manage reserves and utilization. Reconcile committed, drawn, and utilized power and adjust reserves to protect both sellable inventory and uptime. * Support the deal with data. Run technical design reviews, cage plots, and density-feasibility analysis, giving the business a clear, data-backed view of capacity. Controls, Telemetry, and Metering * Stabilize controls. Take ownership of building automation and controls, set standards for sequences of operation and alarm management, and tune the mechanical and electrical environment for reliability and efficiency. * Own the instrumentation layer. Run branch-circuit monitoring, environmental monitoring, and power-data acquisition, and ensure every usage-based site is fully instrumented before customer turn-up. * Close metering gaps. Drive the program to close remaining metering and monitoring gaps, treating data integrity as a revenue-protection function. Billing Data, Metrics, and Risk * Protect billing integrity. Own the data behind PUE-based billing, usage, PUE, and rate, with anomaly detection, variance flagging, and reconstruction methods that prevent revenue leakage. * Own the operational metrics. Utilization, salable and built capacity, forecast accuracy, automation coverage, PUE and WUE, and the metrics that feed financial and capital reporting. * Identify risk in the data. Use operational data and modeling, including redundancy and failover modeling (N+1, 2N), to identify risk early and route clear, prioritized actions to teams so issues are remediated proactively. Leadership * Stabilize and build the team. Take ownership of the capacity engineering, operations engineering, controls, and telemetry groups, clarify roles, close gaps, and build a unit that operates with discipline and pride. * Build a resilient function. Document and cross-train so the function's knowledge is well-distributed across the team, and partner across Facilities, Engineering, Construction, Sales, Product, IT, and Finance. ## Related Videos - [Optimizing Land-Based Fish Feeding with Node-RED](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2032-optimizing-land-based-fish-feeding-with-node-red) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Enabling intelligent logistics automation: home-grown Industrial IoT platform at Austrian Post](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2018-enabling-intelligent-logistics-automation-home-grown-industrial-iot-platform-at-austrian-post) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Everything a Developer Needs to Know About MCP with Neo4j](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/604-everything-a-developer-needs-to-know-about-mcp-with-neo4j) - [Dev Digest 162: AI careers, MCP, AWS best practices & floppy sweaters](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/571-dev-digest-162-ai-careers-mcp-aws-best-practices-floppy-sweaters) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager)
