Two practices, one bench. Our data center staffing team supports contract and contract-to-hire engagements — commissioning surge teams, field engineers, QA/QC inspectors, and project specialists. Our data center recruiting team runs direct-hire and retained search for the leadership roles — project executives, MEP engineering managers, commissioning authority leads, and chief engineers.
“His attention to detail, proactive approach, and consistent delivery of high-quality results has made him an invaluable resource to our team. His work consistently exceeds expectations and reflects positively on your organization. He is truly an asset to both our teams.”

Every sector we staff has one thing in common: there’s no room for error. Here’s where we focus our recruiting muscle.
The crews pouring foundations in Ashburn this morning need a PM who's delivered 60MW before. We find that person — along with the electricians, commissioning agents, and MEP leads who keep hyperscale builds on schedule.
When a hospital can't lose power and a trading floor can't afford a blink, the people maintaining those systems had better know what they're doing. We make sure they do.
Ground-up builds don't wait for candidates to update their resumes. We keep a bench of QA/QC inspectors, schedulers, and safety pros ready to mobilize when you need boots on the ground.
Substations, T&D lines, solar farms, battery storage — the grid is getting a massive upgrade. We recruit the relay techs, lineworkers, and power engineers making it happen.
We maintain active data center talent pipelines in the markets experiencing the highest construction demand. Hover over a pin to learn more.
From field leadership to technical specialists, we recruit the data center talent and mission critical professionals that your projects depend on.
The person who keeps a $300M build from going sideways. We place PMs who've delivered hyperscale campuses, not ones still learning what IST means.
$110K – $180K
First on site, last to leave. Our CMs manage 20+ trades at once and know how to keep a data center build moving without cutting corners.
$120K – $190K
The people who design the guts of the building — power distribution, cooling plants, fire suppression. If the PUE target matters to you, these hires matter more.
$100K – $165K
Primavera P6 experts who actually understand data center construction sequences. They'll tell you where your schedule is going to slip before it does.
$90K – $140K
The quality gatekeepers who catch deficiencies before systems get energized. CWI, NETA, and ACI-certified pros who know what zero-defect means on a data center build.
$80K – $140K
The last line of defense before your facility goes live. CxA-certified professionals who've led IST events on Tier III and Tier IV data centers.
$105K – $160K
What hiring teams and candidates ask us most often.
