About the role

In Cikarang, you’ll be the mechanical and HVAC lead for one of those facilities: keeping chillers, CRAC/CRAH units, generators and the wider M&E plant running at 100% uptime.

This is a senior, hands-on operations role. You own the planned maintenance programme, lead contractors on site, write and approve the procedures that govern critical work, and act as technical lead when something goes wrong. You report to the JKT02 Facility Manager and work closely with the on-site operations and shift teams.

Reports to: JKT02 Data Center Facility Manager Employment type: Full-time, permanent

What you’ll do

Own planned maintenance

• Plan and schedule preventive maintenance for the site’s mechanical and electrical plant, and build the annual maintenance roadmap for the Operations Manager’s approval.
• Write detailed Methods of Procedure (MOPs) for critical work and get them approved by the Operations Manager or the nominated person in control of the electrical installation.
• Organise and oversee all testing of mission-critical equipment on site.

Lead contractors and vendors

• Supervise contractor and vendor work end to end: every job logged in EdgeConneX systems, executed to the approved MOP, verified as working, and the workplace left clean and safe.
• Monitor live works to make sure safety standards are met at all times.

Respond to incidents

• Respond to alarms, critical situations and emergencies calmly and in line with the emergency response plan.
• Provide technical leadership during incidents and troubleshooting, protecting safety and operational continuity.

Deliver customer work and keep people informed

• Plan and deliver customer-requested work on time, and keep the customer and management briefed on status.
• Keep site management fully informed on all planned and corrective work in the data center.
• Record all executed work accurately and promptly in line with EdgeConneX processes.

Raise the bar

• Look for ways to improve quality, efficiency and energy performance without compromising uptime.
• Identify cost savings that don’t sacrifice quality.
• Train new hires on the site’s installations, maintenance standards and customer service delivery.

What you bring

Must-haves

• Diploma or Degree / S1 or D3/D4 in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline (a D3 with strong critical-environment experience is welcome).
• 4+ years operating or maintaining M&E plant in a data center or other critical environment (hospital, semiconductor fab, telecoms, utilities, oil & gas).
• Hands-on knowledge of HVAC principles and data center cooling: chillers, CRAC/CRAH units, cooling towers, pumps and controls.
• Working knowledge of the electrical side of the plant: generators, UPS, switchgear, ATS/STS, transformers and fire suppression systems.
• Experience writing and executing MOPs or similar controlled work procedures.
• Fluent in English and Bahasa Malaysia.
• Able to join a 24/7 on-call rota and respond to site emergencies.

Nice-to-haves

• 2+ years leading technicians or supervising contractors.
• Experience with BMS/EPMS platforms and CMMS tools.
• Experience in a colocation or hyperscale environment.

How you work

• Calm and clear under pressure, especially during incidents.
• Strong attention to detail: procedures, logs and handovers are done right first time.
• Comfortable juggling several jobs and timelines, and pulling in peers when needed.
• A team player who will do what it takes to get the job done safely.

Working pattern and what’s in it for you

Hours and on-call. Standard weekday hours on site, plus participation in a shared 24/7 on-call rota. On-call is rotated across the operations team, and call-outs are compensated.

Benefits. Private medical, dental and outpatient insurance for you, your spouse and children, monthly phone and commute allowances, 6 weeks paternity leave, uncapped medical leave, and funded training, certifications and tuition.

Growth. You join a global data center operator in a fast-growing APAC market. The natural next steps from this role are Subject-Matter Expert, Critical Facilities Manager or Operations Manager, and EdgeConneX supports internal moves across its global footprint.
