Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled Data Center Service Technician with hands-on experience supporting Power Distribution Unit (PDU) systems in data center environments. This role is responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, and ensuring the reliability of low- and medium-voltage power distribution equipment that supports critical server infrastructure.

This is a regional, field-based position supporting multiple data centers within a defined geographic area. The ideal candidate understands the urgency, protocols, and operational nuances of data center environments and is comfortable working independently in high-priority situations.


Key Responsibilities

  • Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair PDU systems and associated low- to medium-voltage electrical equipment
  • Respond to critical service calls in an on-call capacity, ensuring rapid resolution of power-related issues
  • Perform preventive maintenance (PM) checks on PDU systems and supporting infrastructure
  • Monitor and verify proper electrical load distribution to prevent overload conditions
  • Collaborate with data center personnel to ensure safe and compliant system operation
  • Document service activities, findings, and corrective actions
  • Maintain adherence to all safety standards and data center protocols

Travel & Work Structure

  • Regional travel required (typically within a 3-hour radius of Chicago)
  • Travel time is fully compensated (from departure from home to return)
  • Use of personal vehicle required (all tools provided on-site)
  • Company credit card provided for fuel and work-related meals

On-Call & Scheduling

  • This is an on-call position, requiring availability for urgent service needs
  • Technicians may schedule PTO and blackout dates (e.g., weddings, personal events) in advance
  • When not on active calls, technicians will focus on preventive maintenance and system monitoring

Qualifications

  • Hands-on troubleshooting & repair experience with PDU systems (Power Distribution Units)
  • Prior experience working in data center environments (strongly preferred)
  • Working knowledge of low- and medium-voltage electrical systems
  • Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills
  • Ability to work independently in time-sensitive situations
  • Valid driver’s license and reliable personal vehicle

Compensation & Benefits

  • Hourly pay: $40–$45/hour (based on experience)
  • Overtime paid at 1.5x
  • Paid for full travel time (portal-to-portal)
  • Tax advantages associated with the use of a personal vehicle
  • Company-issued credit card for travel expenses
  • Flexible scheduling with PTO and blackout date allowances
