Field Technician – Data Center Services
Hands-on mechanical work inside mission-critical data centers — with travel, strong earning power, and a clear path up.
About the Role
We are a national specialty contractor performing precision chemical cleaning and passivation of high-purity fluid systems — primarily water and glycol — for hyperscale and enterprise data center clients across the central and eastern US. Our field technicians are deployed to high-profile job sites and do the mechanical work that keeps cooling and process infrastructure performing at spec.
This is a mid-level field role. You've got some mechanical experience and you're ready to put it to work in a specialized environment with a team that takes quality seriously.
What You'll Do
- Execute chemical cleaning and passivation processes at data center and industrial client sites
- Install jumpers, pumps, and specialized cleaning skids on client piping systems
- Operate company vehicles to and from job sites; operate forklifts on site
- Monitor process parameters, collect samples, and accurately document results
- Work with chemical solutions (citric, caustic, and others) using proper PPE
- Support the Project Leader; contribute to a high-performing crew
- Maintain a clean, safe, organized work environment (5S standards)
Compensation & Earning Power
Base pay is $30–$33hr. Here's the full picture:
per diem — every day on assignment for food and lodging.
Loads of overtime — consistent on every project, often 50–60+ hour weeks during active phases.
Rental vehicle provided per job; company-paid passenger van for the crew on longer projects.
Automatic 10% raises at 6, 12, and 18 months plus performance-based milestones — commonly delivering +30% total growth in the first 18 months.
Result: Most technicians take home materially more than they would in a higher-base role that offers no per diem, no vehicle support, and no structured raises.
What We're Looking For
- 1+ year of hands-on mechanical or field experience: HVAC, plumbing, hydraulics, pipes, pumps, valves, petroleum, or similar
- Comfort working with fluid systems and basic process equipment
- High school diploma or GED; technical training or AA degree preferred
- Valid Class C driver's license with a clean driving record
- DOT Medical Certificate (or ability to obtain one)
- OSHA 10 preferred; HAZWOPER or Confined Space certifications a plus
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs; comfortable in varied industrial environments
- Open to extensive travel — typically 4+ weeks at a time
Where You'll Work
Data center client sites across Ontario. You travel to the job site and return home between projects.
Travel: 4+ weeks at a time; return home between projects
Shifts: Typically two-team rotations; day and night shifts
Overtime: Consistent and significant on every project
Career Growth
Strong performers move into Associate Project Leader roles within 18–24 months, with a clear path to full Project Leader and Data Center leadership positions. This is a company that promotes from the field.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, religion, disability, gender, national origin, or veteran status.
