Nxera CEO Bill Chang says his company is likely to take the lion’s share of the 500 new hires. “But we can't take all because we need to make sure our supply chain has some talent; otherwise, they cannot build [related] products [and services that are innovative],” he says.
Singtel's regional data centre arm Nxera and its industry partners plan to train and hire more than 500 people in Singapore over six months to fill roles across the growing digital infrastructure sector.
They will hire fresh graduates and mid-career professionals in technical and non-technical functions such as data centre consultancy, design, engineering, operations (including finance and development) and sustainability. This will be done through internships, graduate programmes, work-study and full-time roles.
