## About the Role

2-5 Years in industrial water treatment, HVAC Commissioning , and/or mechanical contracting

Must Have Requirements:

 * Two of the following:

 * Water Chemistry Basics: Proficiency in performing and documenting field water analysis (e.g., glycol %, pH, conductivity, iron, phosphate, and inhibitor levels)

 * Project Coordination: Experience or ability to manage project timelines, including the logistics of ordering chemicals and coordinating deliveries with freight carriers and Garratt-Callahan Orderdesk / Commodity Manager

 * Direct experience: Chemical cleaning of closed-loop HVAC systems

 * Industrial water Experience: Minimum 2-3 years of experience in industrial water treatment

 * Mechanical Contractor Experience: Commissioning or chemical cleaning of closed-loop HVAC systems

 * Communication Skills: Able to professionally interface with Clients, Mechanical Contractors, and General Contractors to drive the flushing schedule.

Nice To Have Requirements:

 * Technical Literacy: Ability to read and interpret P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) and mechanical blueprints to identify isolation valves, bypasses, and system volumes.

 * Bluebeam experience

 * Math Proficiency: Strong ability to perform volume calculations and chemical dosage rates (e.g., calculating the amount of cleaner needed for a 50,000-gallon loop). Basic ratios.

 * Data Center Experience: Previous experience working on Hyperscale or Enterprise data center build-outs (e.g., AWS, Meta, Google, or Microsoft sites).

 * Safety Certifications: Current OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 Construction Safety certification.

 * Equipment Expertise: Experience installing and programming water treatment controllers (e.g., Walchem, Advantage, Google Workspace, WebMaster).

 * Industry Credentials: Association of Water Technologies (AWT) certifications or a Certified Water Technologist (CWT) designation.

 * Logistics Experience: Experience using inventory management software or specialized ERP systems to track orders and shipments.

 * HVAC Cleaning Equipment Experience: Familiarity with high-flow filtration skids and temporary bypass pumping setups.

## Description

Oversee the chemical cleaning, passivation, and flushing of primary cooling loops during the construction phase of large-scale data centers. Perform on-site technical lead role, coordinating with mechanical contractors to ensure water chemistry meets stringent, time-sensitive specifications and managing the logistics and documentation for each project in a Google document workflow (Google Workspace).

In-Field and In-plant Passivation Operations:

 * In-plant passivation of stainless steel

 * System Flushing & Cleaning: Lead the chemical cleaning and "pre-operational" flushing of closed-loop chilled water systems.

 * Water Analysis: Perform on-site water chemistry testing (e.g., pH, conductivity, iron levels, azole concentrations) to verify system readiness.

 * Mechanical Contractor Assistance: Work side-by-side with mechanical contractors to manage roadblocks, pump setups, dose chemistry, and filtration.

 * Equipment Maintenance: Ensure all chemical feed equipment and monitoring controllers are properly installed and calibrated.

 * Service Existing Datacenters: Perform service by checking residuals, swapping out filtration, and dosing any necessary chemicals. Write a service report at the end of each service.

Project Management & Logistics:

 * Inventory & Ordering: Forecast chemical volumes required for system volumes and place timely orders to avoid site delays.

 * Join weekly project meetings

 * Logistics Oversight: Track shipments and coordinate the delivery of bulk chemicals or IBC totes to active construction sites.

 * Documentation: Maintain precise "Daily Field Reports" and final documentation for the client (Owner's Rep) and/or mechanical contractors.

 * Schedule Management: Align chemical treatment phases with the mechanical construction schedule to ensure on-time commissioning and product delivery.
