[**Which role fits?**Take the career quiz before you start searching.](https://datacentertraining.us/quizzes/career-quiz.html)

**Short answer:** To find data center jobs near you, start with where operators actually build. Northern Virginia, Dallas-Fort Worth, Phoenix, Atlanta, Chicago, and Central Ohio are established hubs, while new AI campuses are hiring in places like Abilene, El Paso, Richland Parish, and southeast Wisconsin. Then search each operator's careers site by city for technician and facilities titles.

Key takeaways

- Big campuses are often in small towns outside the metro, so search by county and nearby cities, not just the big city name.
- New campuses hire construction trades first (electricians, pipefitters, commissioning), then a much smaller permanent operations team.
- Google, Meta, and Microsoft publish lists of their data center locations, which is the fastest way to see who operates near you.
- Our training is online and available anywhere in the U.S. We are not a local employer or placement agency.

## How do I find data center jobs near me?

Find out which operators have facilities near you, then search their careers sites with a location filter and their own job titles. "Data center technician jobs near me" searches on general job boards miss many facilities roles, because each company names them differently.

1. ### Map the operators near you

   Google's [data center locations page](https://datacenters.google/locations/), Meta's [U.S. data center list](https://datacenters.atmeta.com/us-locations/), and Microsoft's [community pages](https://local.microsoft.com/communities/) show where each company operates or is building. Colocation companies list their sites on their own websites.
2. ### Search careers sites by location and title

   Use each company's own titles: Data Center Engineering Operations Technician at AWS, Data Center Facilities Technician at Google, Critical Environment Technician at Microsoft, Critical Facilities Technician at many colocation firms. Our [hyperscale data center jobs guide](https://datacentertraining.us/careers/hyperscale-data-center-jobs.html) lists them.
3. ### Widen the radius

   Campuses often sit 20 to 60 miles from the metro they are named after. Set alerts for nearby counties and small towns, not only the big city.
4. ### Include contractors and the trades

   Construction, commissioning, and much of the security and maintenance work is done by contractors. Electrical and mechanical contractors, union halls, and staffing firms hire for these sites; ask them which local projects they staff.
5. ### Use public workforce resources

   Your local American Job Center (find one through CareerOneStop, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor) and the [Apprenticeship.gov job finder](https://www.apprenticeship.gov/apprenticeship-job-finder) list openings and apprenticeships near you. Community colleges near big campuses often run employer-backed programs.

New to the industry? Read [entry-level data center jobs](https://datacentertraining.us/careers/entry-level-data-center-jobs.html) first, so you know which titles to search for.

## Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic

Virginia is the country's densest data center market, and the region around it is drawing new campuses.

### Northern Virginia and Ashburn

Loudoun County, nicknamed "Data Center Alley" by its own economic development director, has the highest concentration of data centers in the U.S., according to The Christian Science Monitor. It grew around an early internet exchange point (MAE-East) plus available power, water, and fiber. Google lists data centers in Loudoun and Prince William counties, and AWS announced in 2023 plans to invest $35 billion by 2040 in multiple Virginia data center campuses. Recent official postings include AWS Data Center Technician roles in Sterling and Manassas and "Data Center Engineering Operations Technician, Northern Virginia" roles, an Oracle Data Center Technician in Ashburn, and Equinix roles in Ashburn and Culpeper.

**Roles in demand:** IT data center technicians, critical facilities technicians, colocation customer operations, security, and commissioning. **Local training:** Germanna Community College hosts the AWS Information Infrastructure Pre-Apprenticeship (i2PA), a paid four-week program.

AWS has posted a Data Center Technician role in Frederick, and many Maryland job seekers also commute to Northern Virginia sites.

### New Jersey

New Jersey's data center jobs center on colocation sites serving the New York financial and network market. Equinix, for example, has posted Data Center Critical Facilities Lead and Customer Operations Technician roles in Secaucus. Search colocation companies' careers sites with a New Jersey filter.

## Texas data center jobs

Texas has both long-running hubs and some of the largest AI campuses under construction, so "data center jobs in Texas" covers everything from technician roles in the metros to construction trades in rural counties.

Nearby Shackelford County is another announced Stargate site. Oracle has posted Senior Data Center Support Services Technician roles in Abilene, including military pathway roles, and Vantage has posted a Facility Technician role in Shackelford County.

Start by finding which operators have facilities near you, using the location pages that Google, Meta, and Microsoft publish. Then search each operator's careers site with a location filter and the company's own titles, such as Data Center Technician, Critical Facilities Technician, or Critical Environment Technician. Add contractors, staffing firms, and your local American Job Center to the search.
