About Vantage Data Centers

Vantage Data Centers powers, cools, protects and connects the technology of the world's well-known hyperscalers, cloud providers and large enterprises. Developing and operating across North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific, Vantage has evolved data center design in innovative ways to deliver dramatic gains in reliability, efficiency and sustainability in flexible environments that can scale as quickly as the market demands.

Construction Department

The Construction team is responsible for the management of delivering data centers from conception through commissioning, working with Sales, Operations, New Site Development, and Innovation and Engineering along the way. Construction also works closely with partner contractors to come up with a vertically coordinated design and leads these partners to deliver the projects on schedule and budget.

Many times, a role like this at other companies is purely oversight. One thing that distinguishes Vantage is that our technical staff is given the responsibility and authority to directly drive the process. When compared to external resources, our internal team can align long-term operational sustainability with value engineering and cost metrics to deliver products aligned with company goals. This approach empowers each member of the team to drive high- impact decisions and even more impactful results.
