Clear Recruitment

Site Selection & Development

The decisions made before a data center is built — about where to locate it, how to power it and how to get it consented — determine whether a project succeeds or fails. Clear recruits the development professionals who make these decisions and execute them: from site acquisition specialists and planning managers through to power procurement leads and development directors. We work with operators, developers and investors across the full development cycle.
