About Us:
atNorth is a fast-growing Nordic data center company, delivering sustainable, high-performance computing solutions across Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and now Norway. As we continue to expand our landbank for future data center developments, we are looking for a Site Selection Manager to drive the identification, assessment, and acquisition of new sites across Norway. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in our expansion strategy in the Nordics, ensuring that atNorth secures the best locations for future growth while also offering opportunities for career development and involvement in projects across the Nordics.
About the Role:
As a Site Selection Manager, you will be responsible for identifying and evaluating new site opportunities in Norway, ensuring they meet atNorth’s technical, environmental, and strategic criteria. You will actively engage with local municipalities, energy providers, and business developers to explore potential locations and conduct due diligence to assess site feasibility. Your work will involve technical, legal, and commercial evaluations, ensuring every new site aligns with our long-term business goals.
Beyond site selection, you will play a key role in navigating Norwegian regulations and governance related to power applications, handling documentation, and ensuring compliance with national and European standards. You will manage the approval process, prepare materials for stakeholder evaluations, and ensure sites progress through atNorth’s Gating process efficiently. This is a role with room for growth, with the potential to extend your work beyond Norway and be part of atNorth’s broader expansion journey.
