Job Overview
The Senior Site Operations Technician supports the safe, compliant, and reliable operation of an assigned wireless data center site by coordinating onsite physical work, governing site access under established policy, overseeing vendors and authorized visitors, validating work readiness, performing quality checks, and maintaining site condition and operational awareness.

The role executes smart hands support and controlled technical intervention on production infrastructure within approved procedures, training, and authorized work scope, while reinforcing strong operational discipline, consistent execution, vendor follow-through, and sound onsite work practices. This is a clearly bounded hourly technician role and does not routinely perform logical configuration of network or server equipment, act as design authority, or perform skilled mechanical or electrical maintenance work.
Job Responsibilities
Site Operations & Work Control Coordinate
onsite physical work in accordance with approved incidents, change records, maintenance plans, site procedures, and other authorized work documentation.
Verify work authorization, confirm scope aligns to approved records, validate site readiness, and ensure required safeguards and conditions are in place before work begins.
Maintain awareness of onsite activity and stop or escalate work when safety, authorization, scope, workmanship, or site conditions are not acceptable.
Manage workload priorities for the assigned site and apply experienced judgment during incidents, non-routine conditions, or competing operational demands.
Access Governance, Vendor Oversight & Work Acceptance
Govern site access under established policy and maintain awareness of who is onsite, why they are onsite, and what authorized work they are performing.
Coordinate vendors, contractors, and authorized visitors and hold them to expected standards for safety, housekeeping, communication, and work quality.
Perform quality checks before, during, and after physical work affecting the site and verify the work area is returned to normal operating condition.
Review completed work for labeling, cable management, housekeeping, restoration, turnover evidence, and overall workmanship before accepting work.
Identify recurring vendor performance issues or execution gaps and ensure they are raised through the appropriate follow-up channels.
Smart Hands Support, Facilities Awareness & Operational Discipline
Execute smart hands support and controlled technical intervention on production infrastructure, including physical troubleshooting, break/fix actions, and restoration activities, within approved procedures, training, and authorized work scope.
Use DCIM and related tools to identify physical equipment locations and support onsite execution and verification activities.
Maintain working awareness of power, cooling, environmental systems, BMS, and facility dashboard tools to support onsite verification and escalation, recognizing that primary alarm monitoring resides with the Facility NOC.
Support vendor-performed preventive maintenance and perform limited safe response actions within training, such as visual verification, thermal mitigation support, and coordination with responders or authorities during site events.
Reinforce strong operational discipline by promoting consistent execution, adherence to procedure, quality expectations, and sound site practices across onsite work activities.
Identify practical opportunities to improve work execution, vendor follow-through, or operating consistency through normal operating channels.
Communication & Documentation
Document incidents, work observations, access activity, vendor issues, and site conditions in the appropriate systems and records.
Provide clear updates to engineering teams, Critical Environment Engineers, vendors, and leadership regarding site status, active work, incidents, and risks.
Provide informal guidance through strong operating practices and example, without formal people leadership responsibility.
