Karen Irwin, Sr. Recruiter PowerSecure
We recruit for equipment, power, and industrial companies that treat their people the way we treat ours.
We learn everything we can about our employers and their required skills to match their openings with the most ideal candidates.
We recruit with the same passion and ethical standards as if we were our clients, submitting only candidates we would hire ourselves.
We search across 15 job boards, our network of more than 30,000 industry professionals, and our industry-specific social media groups.
We have recruited thousands of candidates for over 100 companies in 50 states and Canada, and maintained a consistent five-star Google rating. If we don’t deliver, you don’t pay.
Hiring for a data center build or working in one? These are the questions we get asked most.
We recruit across the whole facility. On the operations side that means critical facilities technicians and engineers, operations and facilities managers, generator and UPS technicians, and cooling or liquid-to-chip technicians. On the engineering and construction side we place electrical and mechanical engineers, controls engineers, and construction and commissioning managers. We also fill network and IT infrastructure roles, cybersecurity analysts and sales engineers. The list higher up this page has the titles we handle most often.
We work with all three, and with the manufacturers and service providers that supply them. Recent searches include a hyperscale build in Dallas and a cooling tower manufacturer that needed new quality and supply chain leadership.
That depends on which roles you need and how deep the local labor market is, so we will give you an honest read on timing at the start of the search. We filled 25 critical facilities technician seats for a new Dallas hyperscale facility in under a month, put a full roster of critical facilities engineers in place in Texas inside a 60-day window, and found a team of liquid-to-chip specialists in three weeks.
Some clients come to us with a single hard-to-fill seat, such as a controls engineer or a head of design engineering. Others hand us an entire commissioning roster to fill before a site goes live. Both are normal work for us.
There are three ways to engage us. Direct hire covers your permanent positions. Project-based recruiting suits a specific build or a temporary assignment. Recruitment process outsourcing means we run the whole hiring process on your behalf. Tell us what you are trying to staff and we will recommend one of them.
Our recruiters work in this sector full time, so a screening call goes well past the resume. We confirm the certifications that matter for the role, including CDCP, CDCS, DCEP, OSHA 30 and HAZWOPER. The recruiter you speak to can also discuss Tier III and Tier IV requirements, N+1 and 2N redundancy, PUE and rack density without needing any of it explained first.
We recruit nationwide. We have placed UPS and generator technicians for national service providers, medium voltage OFCI sales representatives selling into the data center market across the country, and sales engineers covering the Southeast. Our recruiters are not carved up by territory, so a search in a thinner market gets the same reach as one in Dallas or Northern Virginia.
Most of the people you want are already employed and are not reading job boards. We maintain a network across data center operations, MEP, structured cabling, low voltage and fire protection, and we approach those people directly about your specific role.
We do that regularly. Our searches on the supplier side have included a transformer manufacturer scaling up for digital infrastructure, a cooling tower manufacturer, a national critical power provider, and a cooling systems manufacturer that needed area sales managers. Sales, engineering and supply chain roles at vendors are a real part of our data center practice.
Call us at 225-773-5278 or email info@bemana.us and describe the roles, the site and your timeline. We will come back to you with what we think the search will take and what it will cost, before you commit to anything.
Apply to any data center job on our job board and a recruiter who covers that market will get in touch with you, whether or not that particular role turns out to suit you. A lot of what we fill is never advertised, so having a conversation now is what puts you in front of the next opening that fits.
It costs you nothing. Candidates never pay us, because the employer doing the hiring pays our fee.
Everything we have open is listed on our job board, which pulls from our internal system every hour. If you do not see your role there, get in touch anyway, because searches are often underway before they are posted.
We will not. Representation is one of the five principles we work by, and in practice it means we ask you first, every time. You will know which company you are going forward to, and why we think it fits, before anything is sent.
Ask one of our recruiters, because they see what these roles pay across different markets week to week. We also publish a 2026 salary guide you can request a copy of, and there are interview and job search resources on our career services page. A recruiter will talk an offer through with you even if it did not come from us.
