Careers with purpose: sustainable work in a digital world
Why tech professionals at Datacenter United are building the future – and themselves.
The demand for IT talent has never been greater. Yet for the new generation of tech professionals, it's about more than just an attractive salary or an impressive tech stack. Engineers, consultants and IT architects are looking for work that matters. For a working environment that combines innovation with sustainability, personal growth and social relevance.
At Datacenter United, we understand that ambition. As the Belgian market leader in future-oriented data centre infrastructure, we offer not only cutting-edge technology and challenging projects, but also a workplace where you can make a real impact – on customers, the climate and your own development.
Why tech talents choose DCU
Tomorrow's infrastructure requires more than cables and cooling – it requires vision. At Datacenter United, engineers, system architects and cloud specialists work together on the backbone of digital transformation. Think of projects that revolve around AI-ready infrastructures, Tier IV-level redundancies, hyperconnectivity and innovative cooling technologies such as liquid cooling or free-air systems.
What sets DCU apart is that these high-performance environments are built with sustainability in their DNA. All our data centres run on 100% green electricity, are equipped with solar panels (3,500Wp capacity) and operate with a PUE lower than 1.2.
For IT professionals, this means working on projects that are not only technologically advanced, but also contribute to the climate goals of customers and the sector. Tech with impact – today and tomorrow.
A work culture that matters
At DCU, we believe that technical innovation is only possible in a culture of trust, collaboration and development. That is why we consciously invest in our people.
Every new colleague gets access to a personal training budget, is paired with a mentor and is part of multidisciplinary teams that combine short lines of communication with a high degree of autonomy. From network specialists to data centre operations and sustainability engineers – everyone works together to optimise processes, customer solutions and themselves.
Our culture is open, results-oriented and human. No hierarchical walls or cumbersome structures, but a flexible organisation where initiative is valued, performance is visible and successes are celebrated together.
For many of our employees, Datacenter United is the place where their passion for technology converges with social relevance – and that is exactly why they stay.
Work with impact – for today and for the future
At DCU, everything revolves around infrastructure with meaning. And that also applies to the way we work. As a signatory to the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, we take our responsibility seriously – not only towards the market, but also towards our team.
We measure performance not only in SLAs and uptime, but also in sustainable KPIs: from CO₂ reduction to energy efficiency and diversity within teams. Our impact is tangible – from the local solar energy that powers our data centres to strategic partnerships with customers in healthcare, biotech and finance to accelerate their digital and ecological transformation.
As an employee, you are part of that mission. You are not just working for a company, but for a movement that shows that technology and sustainability are not opposites – but mutually dependent.
Are you an IT professional, engineer or young talent looking for more than just a job? Are you looking for a place where you can build Belgium's digital backbone while contributing to a more sustainable world?
Then Datacenter United is your next step.
