About the Team
OpenAI’s Industrial Compute organization is responsible for building and scaling the infrastructure that powers our most advanced AI systems. Through a combination of strategic partnerships and self-built campuses, we are developing data center infrastructure at unprecedented scale and speed.
The Data Center Delivery organization works across design, construction, commissioning, operations, vendors, and equipment suppliers to turn infrastructure plans into operational capacity. As projects progress from construction through commissioning and turnover, maintaining accurate equipment information, asset records, schedules, and documentation is critical to ensuring infrastructure is ready to operate and maintain.
About the Role
We are seeking a Maintenance Analyst to support the build, commissioning, and turnover of large-scale data center infrastructure.
This role sits within the build organization and serves as a key connection point between equipment vendors, construction teams, commissioning teams, and the systems used to manage physical infrastructure. The Maintenance Specialist will ensure vendor equipment information is accurately captured, validated, and assigned to the appropriate equipment records, logs, and asset tags as infrastructure is installed and commissioned.
In addition to equipment and maintenance data management, this person will provide real-time coordination and scheduling support as construction and commissioning activities progress. This role is well suited for someone who is highly organized, comfortable working with technical equipment information, and able to operate effectively in a fast-moving field environment.
