This is not office cleaning. Dust in a data center causes equipment overheating, circuit failure, and data loss, so the work is done to a measured standard using HEPA filtration, anti-static materials, and strict protocols for working around live equipment. You'll work inside secure federal facilities on a small, disciplined crew. We train and certify you. If you're detail-oriented, comfortable following exacting procedures, and want a cleaning career that pays better than commercial janitorial, this is that path. What you'll do - Perform deep cleaning across three zones of the data center: the underfloor plenum beneath the raised floor, the main data center space, and the above-ceiling plenum - Lift and replace raised floor tiles using proper tools and technique, and vacuum subfloor areas, stringers, pedestals, cable trays, and conduits - Operate HEPA-filtered, triple-filtration vacuums rated to capture 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns - Wipe down surfaces, cabinets, ceiling grid, light lenses, air deflectors, and sprinkler covers using approved lint-free, anti-static materials - Damp mop and scrub raised floor tile with pH-neutral, static-dissipative cleaners; strip and refinish flooring as scheduled - Remove and clean perforated floor panels and cable cut-out panels - Work from fiberglass step ladders to clean overhead cable trays and above-ceiling areas - Follow strict protocols around energized racks, cabling, fire suppression, and sprinkler systems - Support particle count testing and post-cleaning documentation - Maintain equipment, complete daily documentation, and report any incident, damage, or security concern immediately, **DCCS Data Centre Cleaning Specialist** certification (valid 3 years) - **DCCS/ISO** module covering ISO 14644-1 Class 8 cleanliness verification - **OSHA/HAZCOM** compliance training - Site-specific data center access and safety training ## Related Videos - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [How to Avoid LLM Pitfalls - Mete Atamel and Guillaume Laforge](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1328-how-to-avoid-llm-pitfalls-mete-atamel-and-guillaume-laforge) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [From Shadow AI to Secure Intelligence: Safe AI Usage in the Enterprise](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2093-from-shadow-ai-to-secure-intelligence-safe-ai-usage-in-the-enterprise) - [How Your Bundle Size Affects The Climate](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/308-how-your-bundle-size-affects-the-climate) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) ## Related Articles - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Best Job Search Websites of 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/368-the-best-job-search-websites-of-2025) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany)
