The world's largest cloud and AI companies are building data center campuses at an unprecedented pace. Data Center TALNT places the project managers, commissioning agents, MEP engineers, and QA/QC inspectors who deliver these mission critical builds on schedule.
Our talent is trusted on the biggest data center builds in the country — projects commissioned by the world’s leading hyperscalers and AI companies.
Hyperscale data center construction represents the largest and most complex builds in the industry. Companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Meta, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and OpenAI are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in new data center campuses across the United States. These projects range from 50 MW single-building facilities to 500 MW+ multi-phase campuses that take years to complete and employ thousands of construction professionals at peak activity.
The staffing demands of hyperscale projects are fundamentally different from standard commercial construction. These builds require professionals who understand concurrent maintainability, N+1 and 2N redundancy architectures, phased energization sequences, and the rigorous commissioning protocols that hyperscalers mandate before accepting a facility. A project manager who has delivered a 100 MW campus for AWS operates in a different league than one who has managed office buildings — and hyperscaler clients know the difference immediately.
Data Center TALNT has built deep relationships across the hyperscaler ecosystem — with the general contractors, commissioning authorities, and owner's representatives who execute these projects. When a new campus breaks ground in Ashburn, Phoenix, Dallas, or Columbus, the teams managing those builds turn to us because our recruiters understand the specific requirements, certifications, and experience levels that hyperscale construction demands. We don't just fill seats — we place professionals who've been through the hyperscale process before and can contribute from day one.
Data Center TALNT recruits across every function within the hyperscalers sector. Below are some of the most in-demand positions we fill.
Project managers with direct experience delivering 50 MW+ data center campuses for hyperscaler clients. They manage $100M+ budgets, coordinate dozens of subcontractors, and navigate the demanding owner approval processes that hyperscalers require.
Level 1 through Level 5 commissioning agents experienced in hyperscaler commissioning scripts, integrated systems testing (IST), and the documentation standards required by AWS, OpenAI, Oracle, and other hyperscalers for facility acceptance.
QA/QC inspectors specializing in the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that define hyperscale data centers — including medium-voltage switchgear, chilled water plants, and generator paralleling systems.
Mechanical and electrical engineers who design and oversee the critical power and cooling infrastructure for hyperscale facilities, including 2N power distribution, indirect evaporative cooling, and battery energy storage systems.
QC professionals enforcing the stringent quality standards hyperscalers require across structural, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection systems throughout multi-phase campus builds.
Site safety managers implementing the elevated safety protocols required on hyperscaler projects, including owner-specific safety orientations, daily audits, and incident investigation procedures that go well beyond OSHA minimums.
Engineers who program and commission the building management systems, EPMS platforms, and DCIM tools that hyperscalers rely on for real-time monitoring and automated failover of critical infrastructure.
Primavera P6 experts who build and maintain the master schedules for multi-phase hyperscale campuses, tracking thousands of activities across concurrent construction and commissioning phases.
The hyperscalers sector continues to grow, driving sustained demand for skilled professionals. Here are some key statistics shaping the market today.

Our recruiters understand the difference between standard data center construction and hyperscale builds. We screen for experience with specific hyperscaler commissioning protocols, multi-phase campus logistics, and the elevated quality standards these clients demand.
We work with the general contractors, commissioning firms, and owner's reps who build for every major hyperscaler. This gives us visibility into upcoming projects and staffing needs before they hit the open market.
Hyperscale projects ramp up fast. Whether you need 5 commissioning agents or 50, we maintain the bench depth and recruiting infrastructure to mobilize experienced professionals on compressed timelines.
Every candidate we present for hyperscale roles has verified project history on similar builds. We confirm MW capacity delivered, specific hyperscaler experience, and the commissioning or construction phases they've led.
Hyperscalers are companies that operate massive-scale cloud and computing infrastructure — including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Meta, Oracle, and OpenAI. Their data center construction projects are significantly larger and more complex than typical builds, often spanning 50 MW to 500 MW+ across multi-building campuses. These projects require professionals with specific experience in hyperscale commissioning protocols, redundancy architectures, and the demanding quality and safety standards these companies enforce.
Data Center TALNT provides staffing for data center construction projects built for leading hyperscalers and AI companies, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), OpenAI, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). We work with the general contractors, commissioning authorities, and owner's representatives who execute these builds across the United States.
Our candidates have direct, verified experience on hyperscale data center projects. This includes professionals who have managed phased energization on 100 MW+ campuses, led integrated systems testing (IST) events for hyperscaler acceptance, and coordinated MEP installations across concurrent construction phases. We verify project history and confirm hyperscaler-specific experience before presenting any candidate.
For hyperscale projects, we typically present qualified candidates within 48 to 72 hours. For commissioning surge events or rapid ramp-ups, we can mobilize teams of 10 to 50+ professionals on short notice because we maintain active relationships with experienced hyperscale construction professionals across all major U.S. markets.
We provide hyperscaler staffing in every major U.S. data center market, including Northern Virginia (Ashburn), Dallas-Fort Worth, Phoenix (Mesa, Goodyear), Chicago, Columbus (Ohio), Portland/Hillsboro (Oregon), Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Reno, and emerging markets wherever hyperscalers are breaking ground. Our national recruiting reach means we can source talent for any geography.
We work across the hyperscaler ecosystem. Our clients include the general contractors building hyperscale campuses (Turner, Holder, Fortis, Rosendin, etc.), the commissioning authorities validating facility performance, the owner's representatives managing the build on behalf of the hyperscaler, and in some cases the hyperscalers' own internal construction teams.
