Data centers support the digital infrastructure behind how people work, communicate, stream, learn, and connect every day and the industry continues to create long-term career opportunities across operations, construction, engineering, security, and skilled trades.
Veterans bring experience that aligns naturally with this environment: operating in high-pressure situations, following critical procedures, solving problems quickly, and working as part of a team where reliability matters every day.
These are the kinds of skills that keep critical infrastructure running.
At Aligned, nearly 30% of our workforce is made up of U.S. military veterans, with team members serving across operations, construction, engineering, security, and leadership roles throughout the company.
If you’re transitioning from military service and exploring your next career move, data center jobs offer strong long-term opportunities in a rapidly expanding industry.
Amy West, Aligned Talent Acquisition Manager shared perspectives on transitioning into data center careers, interview preparation, and how military experience applies in this field.
