# What’s the Job Market Like for Data Center Construction Roles in Texas Right Now?

Texas is one of the most active data center construction markets in the country right now, and qualified candidates are in short supply. Demand is concentrated in the Dallas-Fort Worth corridor and greater Houston, with project backlogs stretching well into next year. The roles drawing the most competition are project managers, superintendents, estimators, project engineers, and foremen with data center experience. Candidates who have completed full-cycle data center builds, or who hold relevant certifications, are fielding multiple offers quickly. Pay for these roles runs above comparable work in other sectors, and that gap is widening as more projects break ground. Years of experience, project size and complexity, and willingness to travel all move compensation significantly.
