Critical Manager Engineer

Company Description Terakraft AI is an AI-focused sustainable datacenter specializing in liquid-cooled GPU hosting. The company originated from the transformation of a former hydropower plant into an advanced AI datacenter, highlighting its deep commitment to renewable energy. Guided by the “water-to-token” motto, Terakraft AI uses water to generate electricity and to cool servers, producing efficient, high-performance computing outputs. This approach enables a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of less than 1.1, 100% renewable energy consumption, and a closed-loop cooling system with 0 Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE). Team members join a mission-driven environment that combines cutting-edge AI infrastructure with sustainable engineering practices. Role Description The Critical Manager Engineer role is a full-time, on-site position based in Sauda. This role is responsible for overseeing the operation and reliability of the datacenter’s critical infrastructure, including power, cooling, and GPU hosting systems. Day-to-day tasks include monitoring facility performance, coordinating maintenance and inspections, managing incident response, and implementing improvements to optimize energy efficiency and system uptime. The Critical Manager Engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to support AI workloads, ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards, and document operational procedures and technical reports.
