Amazon will host a hiring event next week at TMCC for its new data center project in Storey County.
Recruitment efforts are underway to fill roles that will support short- and long-term operations, including engineering, data center, and installation technicians.
“Nevada has built an economy that attracts world-class technology companies,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “Amazon’s data center investment will generate hundreds of high-quality jobs for construction workers and skilled technicians, with thousands more workers across Nevada benefiting from investments in local suppliers, contractors, and service providers. The future of the digital economy is being built right here in Nevada, and it will spur economic growth in communities across our great state.”
“As our first buildings come online, we are focused on hiring locally and building a strong foundation for long-term partnership in Northern Nevada,” said Kerry Person, AWS Global VP of Datacenter Operations and Delivery. “These roles offer competitive pay, benefits, and career advancement opportunities, and we are working closely with regional workforce organizations to connect Nevadans with these jobs.”
Person continued, “We have engaged with state and local leaders over the past several years to thoughtfully develop infrastructure that aligns with community priorities. Our facilities in Reno will rely on direct air cooling the majority of the time. When water is required, it will come from an allotment specifically designated for industrial use. We are also working with state and local partners to support responsible water programs designed to ensure our operations have a positive impact on the communities where we operate. We look forward to continuing our engagement with local officials and community leaders as we explore additional opportunities that can drive economic growth and sustained local benefit in the region.”
The project is located at Switch’s Citadel Campus at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center.
Job seekers interested in attending the March 9th hiring event are encouraged to RSVP.
