Key Responsibilities
CMMS Standards and Asset Management
- Develops, implements, and maintains CMMS standards for Oracle-owned data center facilities infrastructure.
- Builds and manages asset hierarchies, equipment records, location structures, naming conventions, asset attributes, and lifecycle data within the CMMS.
- Establishes data-governance practices to ensure asset records are accurate, complete, consistent, and traceable across Oracle-owned sites.
- Develops and maintains equipment naming standards, asset-data requirements, documentation expectations, and quality-control processes.
- Supports asset onboarding for new construction, expansions, retrofits, and major equipment replacements.
- Validates asset information, equipment tagging, ownership assignments, technical documentation, and maintenance requirements before operational handoff.
- Coordinates with site teams, engineering, construction, commissioning, reliability, and operations teams to resolve asset-data gaps and maintain CMMS accuracy. Supports audits, readiness reviews, reliability assessments, and operational handoffs by providing accurate CMMS and asset data.
Maintenance Program Development and Work Management
- Develops and manages asset-based preventive, predictive, corrective, and inspection maintenance programs for critical facilities infrastructure.
- Creates work-order templates, job plans, task lists, maintenance frequencies, labor estimates, material requirements, safety notes, and acceptance criteria.
- Defines maintenance requirements using equipment documentation, O&M manuals, single-line diagrams, commissioning documents, manufacturer recommendations, and operating experience.
- Identifies maintenance-coverage gaps, duplicate work, overdue maintenance, incomplete procedures, and opportunities to improve maintenance effectiveness.
- Supports work-order planning, scheduling, execution documentation, and closure quality for critical infrastructure maintenance.
- Ensures maintenance history, work records, equipment documentation, and follow-up actions are accurately captured in the CMMS. Supports development of critical-spares strategies, bills of materials, spare-parts associations, and inventory linkage within the CMMS.
Electrical Distribution and Liquid Cooling Infrastructure
- Develops maintenance standards and asset-management requirements for electrical distribution infrastructure, including switchgear, UPS systems, batteries, PDUs, RPPs, transformers, breakers, panels, busway, generators, transfer switches, and related monitoring systems.
- Supports maintenance-program development for liquid cooling infrastructure, including CDUs, manifolds, pumps, heat exchangers, controls, filtration systems, valves, piping components, and associated monitoring points.
- Partners with Facilities Engineering, Operations, Reliability, Commissioning, Construction, and Data Center Operations to define asset-based maintenance requirements for critical facilities systems. Supports reliability-centered maintenance practices, criticality ranking, lifecycle planning, and maintenance-strategy improvements where applicable.
Reporting, Governance, and Continuous Improvement
- Generates CMMS reports and dashboards for maintenance compliance, asset reliability, work-order performance, backlog management, asset-data quality, and lifecycle planning.
- Uses CMMS and operational data to identify recurring failures, maintenance trends, reporting inaccuracies, asset-data issues, and improvement opportunities.
- Drives continuous improvement in maintenance processes, CMMS workflows, asset governance, engineering documentation, and reporting.
- Develops and maintains CMMS standards, workflows, templates, and reporting requirements in alignment with Oracle operational needs. Prepares clear maintenance procedures, job plans, standards, reports, and technical documentation for site and stakeholder use.
Colocation Maintenance, Vendor Coordination, and Change Support
- Supports Oracle colocation partners in planning and executing maintenance activities affecting Oracle-owned critical infrastructure.
- Manages day-to-day coordination with maintenance vendors, including scheduling work, confirming attendance, coordinating site access, and communicating site requirements.
- Holds vendors accountable for timely attendance, complete service documentation, and resolution of site feedback or follow-up actions.
- Reviews planned maintenance requests, MOPs, risk assessments, rollback plans, outage requirements, and customer-impact considerations.
- Evaluates proposed maintenance for operational risk, safety, sequencing, redundancy impact, and alignment with Oracle standards.
- Coordinates with colocation partners, Data Center Operations, Facilities Engineering, vendors, and other stakeholders to resolve review comments and readiness gaps.
- Presents critical maintenance activities and changes for review and approval through CAB meetings and other required governance forums.
- Tracks approved maintenance through execution and verifies completion records, findings, and follow-up actions are documented. Tracks and validates vendor invoices against approved work, attendance, completed service documentation, and agreed deliverables; provides supporting information to responsible teams or leaders for approval.
General Responsibilities
- Supports incident response, corrective actions, and post-event documentation for critical infrastructure issues.
- Adheres to Oracle safe-working practices, emergency operating procedures, and applicable standards.
- Supports training and knowledge sharing related to CMMS processes, maintenance planning, documentation, and data-center operations. Works independently while collaborating effectively across technical and operational teams in a fast-paced environment.
Required Qualifications
