## Description

We are hiring a team of Data Center Technicians to support a short-term preventative maintenance inspection project at our Fortune 10 Hyperscale Cloud Services client's data centers across Northern Virginia. You will work in a small team and travel between nearby data center facilities to complete standardized inspections of server lift equipment.

This is a hands-on inspection and documentation role rather than a repair position. You will follow a detailed 18-point inspection checklist, document the results, and submit reports through a mobile application at the end of each shift. Previous data center experience is helpful but not required. Training, tools, and inspection manuals will be provided., * Perform standardized inspections on server lift equipment using printed inspection manuals and checklists.

 * Inspect mechanical and structural components for wear, damage, leaks, loose hardware, and other deficiencies.
 * Complete basic functional, mechanical, and battery checks using provided tools and testing equipment.
 * Accurately document equipment locations, asset and serial numbers, inspection results, and other findings, including maintaining handwritten inspection records in restricted areas where mobile devices are not permitted.
 * Submit complete digital reports through the Smartsheet mobile application by the end of each workday.
 * Document deficiencies and escalate equipment issues, safety concerns, access issues, unavailable lifts, or other discrepancies to the Team Lead rather than performing out-of-scope repairs.

EXPECTATIONS

 * Maintain consistent attendance, punctuality, professionalism, and attention to quality throughout the project.
 * Work collaboratively as part of a four-person team consisting of one Team Lead and three Technicians.
 * Travel daily between multiple data center sites across Northern Virginia, which are geographically grouped to minimize unnecessary travel.
 * Strictly follow all client safety, security, PPE, and equipment-handling protocols.
 * Commit to the full project schedule, working November 9th-25th, followed by a scheduled break, and returning December 7th-11th to complete the project.
 * Adapt to changing site conditions, schedules, and project priorities as needed.
