Job description

from Microsoft careers
Overview

As a Senior Critical Environment Technician (CET) in Microsoft’s Cloud Operations & Innovation (CO+I) team, you will maintain the critical infrastructure that keeps our Datacenters up and running. This could be anything from coordinating with supplier/vendors, working closely with Management to address operational, risk and safety situations, mentoring other CE Technicians, having a hands-on understanding on how critical environment equipment works, performing various types of maintenance, responding to onsite incidents while coordinating with other critical facilities professionals, and using telemetry and other platforms to monitor equipment performance and operations.  

This role is based in a region experiencing rapid growth and expansion of Microsoft’s datacenter footprint. As a Senior Critical Environment Technician, you will join a fast‑growing operational environment, offering increased scope, responsibility, and opportunities to influence how new and existing sites are operated and scaled. 

As the region expands, this role plays a key part in supporting new site onboarding, operational readiness, and the transition from build to steady‑state operations, while maintaining Microsoft’s Class‑A reliability and safety standards.
