Jordan Urie is a mission-critical operations leader known for building disciplined maintenance programs, advancing safety culture, and developing highly capable technical teams. At Crane, Jordan brings more than 15 years of hands-on experience with power generation, propulsion, and critical facility systems, along with a steady focus on uptime, preparedness, and operational excellence across Crane's data center campuses.
Shaped by a career that spans U.S. Navy engineering and hyperscale data center operations, Jordan is recognized for his calm, methodical approach to high-stakes environments. He excels at translating complex technical requirements into clear procedures, training teams to respond confidently to equipment casualties, and coordinating operations, construction, and vendor partners toward a shared goal of safe, reliable performance.
Prior to Crane, Jordan served as Assistant Critical Operations Manager for STACK Infrastructure. He managed the site's preventative and corrective maintenance program across UPS systems, diesel generators, liquid-cooled chillers, cooling towers, and air handling and humidification controls. He coordinated an integrated operations and construction environment during the retrofit of four data halls to direct-to-chip liquid cooling, delivered on schedule with zero safety incidents, and ensured his entire team was trained in critical switching, plant monitoring, and rapid failure response, supporting 100% customer uptime.
Earlier at STACK, Jordan served as maintenance program manager and as safety program manager. He was the on-site project manager for the construction of a high-profile AI development lab, authored ten standard operating procedures for the shutdown and restoration of critical equipment, and led a regional training for STACK's West Region technicians on plant casualty response.
Jordan began his career in the United States Navy, where he served as an LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) Engineer and Detachment Maintenance and Training Officer with Assault Craft Unit Five. He was a subject-matter expert in propulsion and power-generation systems, oversaw maintenance for eight craft, and led his detachment through three successful Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) evaluations. He later supported the Navy's Littoral Combat Ship program with Life Cycle Engineering as a maintenance planner and coordinator.
