2025 data centre salary survey

Just Launched: 2025 Data Centre Salary Survey

Jun 11, 2025

11th June 2025 – In response to continued demand for greater transparency in compensation and career progression within the data centre sector, critical infrastructure recruitment consultancy DataX Connect has officially launched its 2025 Data Centre Salary Survey. This annual survey collects vital data from professionals across Europe and the US, offering the industry a comprehensive view of pay, benefits, and bonuses. 

The results of the survey will form the basis of DataX’s comprehensive regional salary reports, which are used by employers all over the globe to benchmark compensation and by professionals to understand their value in the market. 


Supporting transparency in a booming industry

As the data centre industry continues to grow rapidly and compete for skilled talent, access to reliable compensation data has become increasingly important. The 2025 Salary Survey will provide insight into: 

  • Pay trends by job title and region 
  • Bonus structures and benefits packages
  • Experience levels, age, and career progression 

There will be three main regional reports covering the UK, the rest of Europe, and the US. 


What’s new in the 2025 survey 

This year’s survey introduces expanded sections on: 

  • Pay trends by seniority and by company type 
  • Year-on-year salary data 
  • Stagnant salaries 
  • A closer look at individuals benefits packages
  • Gender pay gap analysis 
  • Data on mobility and career movement across the market 

The 2025 reports aim to provide even more actionable insights for both employers looking to attract and retain top-tier professionals, and individuals seeking to benchmark their compensation and progress within the sector. 


Backing future talent pipelines

The survey also supports DataX Connect’s broader mission to help address the data centre talent shortage. Through its partnership with the Digital Futures Programme at UTCs in the South of England, the recruitment consultancy is contributing to the development of young technical talent and helping to shape the workforce of the future. 


Have your say

DataX is inviting data centre professionals and employers across Europe and the US to take part in the 2025 survey and help shape the next edition of the industry’s most widely read salary benchmark report.
