[Hiring] Regional Training Engineer @Prime Data Centers

Role Description

Prime Data Centers is seeking a Regional Training Engineer to execute and deliver hands-on training programs across an assigned region of Prime's growing hyperscale and AI-ready data center portfolio. Reporting to the Director, Technical Training and Development, this role serves as the on-the-ground extension of Prime's training organization — translating the curriculum, standards, and certification pathways the Director establishes into consistent, high-quality training delivery at every site in the region.

This is a hands-on, field-facing role for someone who wants to build something early, not administer a program that already runs itself. You'll spend the majority of your time on the data center floor and in the classroom with technicians, not behind a desk.

Responsibilities

• Regional Training Delivery
  • Deliver classroom, hands-on, and on-the-job training across all sites in the region, following the curriculum and standards set by the Director, Technical Training and Development.
  • Execute new-hire onboarding and procedural proficiency training tied to each site's MOP, SOP, and EOP library.
  • Coordinate training schedules with Site Directors, Critical Facility Managers, and Chief Engineers to minimize operational disruption.
• Curriculum & Certification Management
  • Pilot new curriculum, provide field feedback, and adapt materials to site-specific equipment without compromising standardization.
  • Administer certification checkpoints and maintain accurate, audit-ready training records in the LMS for every site in the region.
  • Own site-level compliance currency — including CPR, First Aid, and NFPA 70E — coordinating with local site teams on routine audits and progress tracking.
• Train-the-Trainer & Cross-Functional Support
  • Identify, coach, and certify Chief Engineers and Critical Facility Managers as in-house instructors, co-delivering sessions to maintain consistency.
  • Serve as the regional point of contact for training questions from site leadership, EHS, and HR.
• Reporting & Continuous Improvement
  • Report regional training KPIs and escalate gaps to the Director, Technical Training and Development with supporting data.
  • Use incident post-mortems and redline data from regional sites to recommend curriculum updates.
  • Support new-site readiness and training mobilization as Prime's regional footprint expands.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in critical facilities, data center operations, or mission-critical industrial environments.
• Experience delivering technical training, mentoring, or on-the-job coaching in an operational environment.
• Working knowledge of critical facility electrical and mechanical systems (UPS, switchgear, generators, chillers, CRAH/CRAC, BMS/EPMS).
• Comfortable delivering both classroom and hands-on, floor-based training.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills; ability to train technicians across varying experience levels.
• Highly organized, with the discipline to keep certification and compliance records accurate and audit-ready.
• Comfortable operating with evolving priorities as the training program is being built out.
• Willingness and ability to travel 20–40% of the time within the assigned region, including overnight travel.

Preferred

• Prior experience as a Critical Operating Technician, Chief Engineer, or similar critical facilities role, with a track record of mentoring or informally training others.
• Experience at a colocation, hyperscale, or wholesale data center operator.
• CDCP® or CDCS® certification (or actively working toward one), or an NFPA 70E qualified trainer credential.
• Experience administering or using a Learning Management System (LMS).
• Experience supporting AI-ready or high-density computing environments.
• Current CPR/First Aid instructor certification, or willingness to obtain one shortly after hire.

Leadership

• Hands-on mindset with a genuine passion for teaching and developing others.
• Strong attention to detail and follow-through on certification and compliance tracking.
• Comfortable delivering direct feedback and holding technicians accountable to standards.
• Adaptable across sites, equipment, and regional teams.
• Collaborative team player who represents the Training & Development organization well in the field.
• Motivated by seeing technicians grow, advance, and succeed.
• Reliable and self-directed when working across multiple sites with minimal day-to-day supervision.

Benefits

• Competitive salary range of $140-170k, depending on the candidates' experience and performance bonus program.
• An employer dollar-for-dollar 401k match up to a 4%, vested fully upon enrollment.
• 100% employee premiums paid by employer for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and disability.
• Over 4-weeks of Paid Time Off + Sick time.
