Site Selection Manager at atNorth

As atNorth expands its Nordic footprint, we are seeking a Site Selection Manager to lead the identification and development of new data center sites in Sweden. You bring robust experience from site development, energy infrastructure, or industrial real estate. You understand that successful data center projects sit at the intersection of power availability, permitting, and location strategy.

You can navigate complex stakeholder landscapes, from municipal planners to grid operators, while maintaining a rigorous focus on compliance and progress. We are looking for a structured and proactive professional who thrives in early-stage development environments. You will drive the process from initial discovery to final approval, ensuring locations meet critical energy, regulatory, and sustainability standards.

Collaborating closely with municipalities, grid operators, and landowners, you will play a pivotal role in our long-term growth, with opportunities to support expansion projects across the wider Nordic region.

Key responsibilities:

• Identify and assess potential sites for large-scale data center developments across Denmark

• Evaluate sites against data center–specific criteria including power availability, grid access, zoning, environmental constraints, and scalability

• Engage with municipalities, energy providers, TSOs/DSOs, and business developers to explore and mature opportunities

• Lead site-level due diligence covering technical, legal, environmental, and commercial aspects

• Navigate Swedish regulatory frameworks related to land use, energy applications, permitting, and governance

• Manage documentation and approvals required for internal investment decisions and atNorth’s gating process

• Prepare decision material and present site assessments to internal and external stakeholders

• Coordinate closely with internal teams across development, energy, legal, sustainability, and construction as well as collaborate with external consultants as needed.

• Support long-term landbank strategy and contribute to continuous improvement of site selection processes

Your profile:

• Proven track record in site selection and development within data centers, energy infrastructure, or large-scale technical real estate.

• Deep understanding of Swedish planning regulations, zoning, and the administrative processes required for industrial development.

• Strong knowledge of the Swedish energy landscape, specifically regarding grid access and permitting.

• Experience with land transactions, valuation, real estate contracts, and legal due diligence.

• Strong project management skills with the ability to drive momentum across parallel work-streams.

• Fluency in Swedish and English is mandatory. Experience working in a Nordic or international context is an advantage.
