Should Workforce Planning Begin Before a Data Centre Project Is Awarded?

Two data centre professionals walking through a facility under construction, surrounded by server infrastructure and electrical systems.

As data centre projects become larger and more complex, should the conversation around specialist talent start earlier? The traditional sequence seems logical: win the project, establish the delivery programme, then build the team needed to execute it. But across the UK, Europe and the US, data centre development is creating significant demand for specialist skills. […]

Supporting the teams delivering digital infrastructure

The rapid growth of AI, cloud computing and hyperscale development is changing the way infrastructure projects are delivered. With increasingly demanding programmes, complex supply chains and growing pressure on power availability, developers, contractors and consultancies need more than technical expertise. They need experienced people who understand the pace, complexity and expectations of mission critical environments. […]

One Skillset. Multiple Industries: The Growing Demand for Electrical Engineers

Electrical engineer inspecting power and control systems within a modern data centre, highlighting the growing demand for electrical expertise across digital infrastructure projects.

Few professions have become as critical to modern infrastructure as electrical engineering. From renewable energy projects and grid infrastructure upgrades to hyperscale data centres and Mission Critical environments, electrical expertise sits at the centre of some of the world’s most significant investment programmes. What makes the profession particularly interesting today is not just the level […]

The Rise of Modular Data Centres: What It Means for Infrastructure Delivery

The data centre and clean power markets continue to expand in 2026, driving sustained demand for skilled professionals across digital infrastructure, renewable energy and mission critical construction. Across the US and Europe, data centre recruitment and clean power hiring remain highly active. However, the way organisations approach talent acquisition is changing. From our perspective supporting […]

The Economics Behind Digital Infrastructure and Clean Power Investment

Digital infrastructure and clean power markets are often discussed in terms of growth. What is less discussed is the economic discipline behind them. Data centres, transmission networks and renewable energy assets are not built because demand is high. They are built because the economics work. Land cost, power availability, grid capacity, transmission access and long-term […]

Why Infrastructure Location Strategy Is Changing

Infrastructure investment decisions are no longer driven by land cost alone. In 2026, digital infrastructure and clean power location strategy is being shaped by power availability, grid capacity, regulatory incentives and transmission bottlenecks. Geography has become a strategic variable, not just a logistical one. From hyperscale data centres in the US to transmission-led renewable expansion […]
