What are the responsibilities and job description for the Data Center Engineer (North/Central New Jersey) (BDB1A59) position at Referment?
Referment is working with an investment and technology organisation seeking a Data Center Engineer to support the critical infrastructure behind its global operations.
This is a practical, hands-on position covering data centres, colocation facilities and internal equipment rooms. You will work across the operational lifecycle, from installing hardware and cabling through troubleshooting, capacity planning and improving the processes used to run resilient sites.
The role is based at data-centre sites in New Jersey, with occasional visits across the New York metropolitan area. Some evening and weekend work is required, so reliable transport and flexibility are important.
The Role
Exposure to large-scale data-centre buildouts or migrations, enterprise-grade storage systems (such as Dell EMC Isilon), liquid cooling, power balancing, or infrastructure automation would be valuable. Experience acting as a technical escalation point or team lead for junior engineers is also a plus. Financial-services experience may help but is not required.
This could suit a data-centre technician or engineer, systems engineer, or infrastructure specialist who enjoys combining hands-on hardware work with operational planning and process improvement.
