Data Center Staffing Playbook: 7 essential roles for facilities operations

The data center industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, but there’s a significant challenge: we’re running out of people who know how to run these facilities. Companies are rushing to build new facilities to keep up with demand, but finding qualified staff to operate them is getting harder every day.

That’s where this playbook comes in. We’ve identified seven key positions that every data center needs to succeed. Think of these as the core team members who keep the lights on and servers humming. Get these roles right, and you’ll have a solid foundation for managing your facility effectively.
