At Samuel Knight Data Centers, we see firsthand how investing in talent drives long-term success. So, how can data centers attract, develop, and retain top-tier professionals? Here are three key strategies: ? Continuous Learning & Upskilling – Investing in technical training, leadership development, and emerging technologies (AI, liquid cooling, cybersecurity) ensures teams stay ahead of the curve. ? Mentorship & Knowledge Transfer – The industry is losing experienced professionals to retirement. Pairing seasoned experts with new talent helps bridge the skills gap and maintain operational excellence. ? Creating a Culture of Growth – People stay where they feel valued.

Performing well on your phone interview can be the difference between getting the job or not, so it's important to take the time to prepare. Here's 3 tips to help you make the most of your phone interview: ? Ask Questions: I.e: "If I were to be hired for this role, how would a typical day look for me?" This gets the employer thinking about you already as an employee and how they would utilise you specifically! ? Speak clearly, listen attentively and control your nerves: The phone can be a tricky medium to communicate through! Make sure you speak slowly and clearly or practise with friends and family. ? Make sure you know your CV inside out: It may be easier to have it pulled up on your computer before you start the interview, this way you can easily refer back to anything you might say!

For the first time ever, the state of Idaho approves its first solar farm on state land! The state has voted to lease 11,000 acres of land to PacifiCorp for the farm. Once finished, it will have more than 300 megawatts of combined wind, solar, and storage nameplate capacity. Idaho currently gets around 17% of its power through wind farms, a stat which is likely to majorly increase with the new approved solar farm (with more likely to follow). Many other renewable sources are also making great progress in the state & across the entire US!

The sun produces enough energy in 2 minutes to meet the entire power demands of the human race... But, our technical capabilities mean we can not harvest or store this amount of energy. Some experts predict that within the next decade we will run out of space to build and commission new solar and wind farms. There are many new methods of farming renewable energy undergoing major research and development outside of solar and wind; such as nuclear and hydrogen. So as a planet, do we focus on improving our current technology, or do we look to other methods of farming energy?
