Data Operations Manager Jobs in Abilene, TX

INTRODUCTION

Lead multi-site Critical Environments operations, ensuring safe, consistent execution across electrical and mechanical infrastructure that powers and cools Oracle’s cloud (power distribution, UPS, generators, switchgear, cooling plants/CRAHs, controls/BMS, and airflow/containment) across multiple data center locations.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

What you’ll do

• Lead multi-site Critical Environments operations, ensuring rigorous execution across electrical and mechanical infrastructure (power distribution, UPS, generators, switchgear, cooling plants, pumps/CRAHs/CRACs, controls/BMS, containment/airflow).
• Set the operational cadence (site health reviews, PM/CM execution, MOP/SOP/EOP readiness, risk registers, KPI reviews) to prevent downtime and reduce operational risk.
• Direct response to CE events and escalations—coordinating rapid triage, clear communications, safe restoration, and post-incident follow-through.
• Drive disciplined RCA/CAPA, ensuring corrective actions are prioritized, tracked, verified, and embedded into standard work.
• Standardize processes, documentation, and knowledge management so shifts and sites operate consistently to world-class CE standards.
• Partner with Engineering and Projects to support new builds and expansions, ensuring CE design intent is operationalized (commissioning readiness, handoff criteria, spares strategy, training, and runbook completeness).
• Identify opportunities for automation and monitoring improvements (alarms, trending, predictive maintenance signals) to improve time-to-detect and prevent repeat events.

What you’ll own

• Availability and facilities risk posture across a portfolio of data centers—owning execution that protects uptime and life-safety.
• Capacity visibility for power and cooling (and associated constraints), providing actionable inputs to portfolio planning and expansion readiness.
• Maintenance excellence: PM quality, repair execution, vendor coordination, and lifecycle planning that improves reliability and reduces avoidable events.
• Operational readiness artifacts: MOP/SOP/EOP quality, change control rigor, lockout/tagout alignment, and a high-integrity CE knowledge base.
• Efficiency and stability improvements (airflow/containment, pressure management, power-train resilience, control system tuning) that strengthen long-term performance.
• People leadership: coaching CE managers/leads and technicians; performance management; hiring and development of a high-performing, safety-first CE organization.

WHY IT MATTERS

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure supports always-on services where reliability is non-negotiable. Critical Environments is the foundation—when power or cooling is unstable, everything is at risk. This role is a hands-on operational leadership position with direct impact on uptime, safety, and the ability to scale. You’ll turn facility signals into preventative action, lead through high-stakes events, and raise operational maturity across multiple sites.

WHY ABILENE

Abilene is a key, growing location in Oracle’s data center footprint—offering meaningful ownership and visibility. You’ll lead critical infrastructure operations today while helping bring additional capacity online with the operational rigor required for world-class reliability. For CE leaders who want to build, improve, and operate at scale, Abilene offers an opportunity to make a measurable impact.
