- USD 80k to USD 290k
- Active hiring clusters

Indicative US permanent base salaries run from USD 45k to USD 70k for entry-level technician roles, USD 80k to USD 130k for mid-level engineering, USD 140k to USD 195k for senior and lead roles, USD 200k to USD 290k for programme and director roles, and USD 300k plus for executive and C-suite hires. Bonus, RSU and benefit structures sit on top of every band, particularly at hyperscale operators. Contract day rates run separately.
By operational IT load, Virginia leads by a wide margin, followed by Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Illinois and Ohio. By approved pipeline growth, Texas, Arizona, Georgia and Ohio are accelerating fastest. Our North America desk currently runs searches into six clusters: Northern Virginia, Texas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Chicago / Columbus and Canada.
Entry-level operations and technician roles typically hire through operator-run apprenticeships, military-to-data-center transition programmes, or direct technician hire at live sites. Engineering and design roles require a relevant degree or licensure. Senior roles weight critical environment experience more heavily than formal qualifications. Specialist credentials such as Uptime Institute ATD, CDCMP, BICSI DCDC or vendor BMS certifications carry meaningful weight.
AWS, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Meta and Apple all run continuous US data center hiring across operations, engineering, construction and commissioning. The deeper colocation and wholesale layer (Equinix, Digital Realty, CyrusOne, Vantage, QTS, Aligned, CoreSite, DataBank) sits underneath and is typically where mid-career talent moves between hyperscale roles.
Yes. Our contract and contingent desk mobilises commissioning engineers, project managers, CSA managers, electrical QA and QC leads, and site managers on rolling terms across US programmes. Day rates and durations vary by discipline and programme stage, and our consultants give an honest read on the current US market for any specific role before you commit.
Yes. Our North America desk runs searches into Toronto, Montreal and the wider Canadian market alongside US mandates. Canadian capacity is smaller in absolute terms but the live role flow is consistent, particularly around colocation operations and hyperscale availability zone build-out.
