Questions

How many jobs does a data center create?

It varies a lot by site and construction crews are much larger than the permanent staff that runs a site. We only show figures linked to a primary public source. A blank means we have not linked a source yet, not zero. Source

What trades build data centers?

Electricians do the largest share of the work, followed by pipefitters and HVAC mechanics for cooling, ironworkers, equipment operators, laborers and low voltage and controls technicians. Running sites hire data center technicians, facilities staff and security. Source

How do I find a data center job near me?

Use the Find jobs here links on this page. They go straight to each company's own careers site, the local union hall and the U.S. Department of Labor apprenticeship finder. We link out and do not host listings. Source
