Building Europe

Why Specialist Recruitment Matters for Digital Infrastructure Projects

The digital revolution is upon us, and Europe is no exception. With internet usage soaring and industries increasingly reliant on cloud-based solutions, the demand for robust digital infrastructure is exploding.

A recent study predicts that the European data centre market will reach a staggering €80.3 billion by 2027, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5% – a clear sign of the continent’s digital transformation.

Fuelling digital infrastructure growth:

The Rise of Cloud Computing: Businesses across Europe are shifting towards cloud-based solutions for data storage, application hosting, and more. This trend necessitates a robust network of data centres with high processing power and reliable connectivity.

The Internet of Things (IoT) Explosion: By 2 2025, there will be an estimated 75 billion connected devices generating data globally. This demands efficient data storage and processing capabilities, further emphasising the need for well-equipped data centres.

E-commerce on the Rise: The European e-commerce market is booming, with online sales projected to reach €878 billion by 2025. This translates to a surge in demand for data centre space to support online transactions and customer data management.

Data centres, the unsung heroes of the digital age, serve as the backbone of this digital ecosystem, housing the servers and IT infrastructure that power our online activities, from streaming movies to online banking.

As Europe’s digital footprint expands, so too does the need for skilled professionals to design, build, and maintain these critical facilities.

The Need for Skilled Labor

Construction teams need civil engineers, electricians, and HVAC specialists to ensure the data centre’s physical structure meets stringent technical specifications.

Additionally, IT professionals with expertise in data centre operations, network engineering, and security are crucial for maintaining smooth operations.

Unfortunately, the rapid growth of the digital infrastructure sector has created a significant skills gap in Europe.

A report by The European e-Skills Association found a shortage of over 2 million IT professionals across the continent, with data centre specialists ranking high on the list of in-demand roles.

This talent shortage can significantly hinder the development and completion of critical data centre projects.

Scandinavia and Germany Leading the Charge

With a booming cloud computing sector, thriving e-commerce market, and increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), the demand for robust digital infrastructure is skyrocketing. This translates to a surge in data center projects across these regions.

AA Euro Group’s distinct advantage lies in our established local presence. We have dedicated offices in Denmark, Sweden, and Germany, allowing us to tap into the regional talent pools and understand the specific needs of these markets.

Combined with our extensive network of offices throughout Europe, we offer unparalleled access to a vast pool of skilled professionals for your digital infrastructure projects.

This regional focus, coupled with our wider European reach, ensures that AA Euro Group is your one-stop shop for finding the right talent to build Europe’s digital future.

A Sustainable Outlook

The environmental impact of data centres is a growing concern. These facilities require significant amounts of energy to power and cool the massive server banks they house. Studies suggest data centres account for 2% of global electricity consumption – a figure that is projected to rise as digital demands increase.

In response to this challenge, a growing emphasis is being placed on building and maintaining “green” data centres. These facilities utilise energy-efficient technologies, such as liquid cooling systems and renewable energy sources, to minimise their environmental footprint.

AA Euro Group recognises the importance of sustainability in the digital infrastructure sector. We actively seek to recruit talent with expertise in designing, constructing, and operating green data centres. By connecting these skilled professionals with your project, we can help you build a future-proof facility that meets your business needs while minimising environmental impact.
