I'm currently 22 yrs into an air quality permitting/compliance/regulatory affairs career. Over the past couple months I've been contacted on LinkedIn by three separate companies in the data center sector. All three roles were air program manager roles asking for 10 yrs experience related to power generation for data centers. The salaries these companies are throwing around is insane. They are all around 60% more than I currently make in the midstream/refining sector with similar benefits plus fully remote. I don't believe I'm drastically underpaid either. Is this a flash in the pan? Are they resetting the market?

Been in data centers for years, its been a great industry and has always paid very well. The recent AI boom has caused a massive labor shortage, a friend at Texas Instruments said a lot of his team has left for around double the pay. The current backlog for the infrastructure build out is several years.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hit me up I am hiring for multiple data centers. Construction majors and civil engineers 3 to 5 years at a school and one position that is remote approximately 8 to 10 years out of school..
