Careers at DataVita

Build the infrastructure powering Scotland’s AI future.

We design, build and operate the data centres and cloud platforms behind Scotland’s digital economy. Join a UK-owned team doing genuinely pioneering work, close to home.

Work that matters, built in Scotland.

DataVita is the fastest growing technology company in Scotland. We design, build and operate Tier III-certified data centres, and we are leading the Lanarkshire AI Growth Zone, delivering up to 500 megawatts of AI-ready capacity powered by private-wire renewable energy.

This is nationally significant infrastructure, and it places DataVita at the centre of the United Kingdom's AI and digital strategy. We are not a single-product company. Our teams work across cloud, colocation, high-performance computing and AI, solving the kind of complex problems that other providers will not touch.

We are investing more than two billion pounds over the coming years, and we are still at a relatively early stage of that journey. For the right person, that means real scope to do career-defining work and to help shape how Scotland builds the next decade of digital infrastructure.

Six behaviours that define DataVita.

Our DNA is the set of behaviours that shape how we hire, how we work together, and how we look after our customers. It has grown up as the company has — but the heart of it hasn’t changed: be ambitious, be straight with each other, and be worth trusting.

We build, not just maintain

We exist to create something significant — Tier III data centres, sovereign AI, the infrastructure behind Scotland’s digital future. We hold every layer it takes to make a real difference, which makes that difference ours to make, not someone else’s. We’re ambitious for the mission, we move at pace, and we’d rather question how things are done and make the call than wait to be told.

Customers win

We know our customers and what they’re trying to achieve, and we measure ourselves on their outcomes — not our activity. We take ownership of a problem until it’s solved or in better hands, we keep people informed without being chased, and we solve it today, not tomorrow.

Curious, and fluent in AI

The ground moves fast and we stay curious about how. We treat AI and data as a genuine part of how we work, not a side project — we use them to do more, decide faster, and let the evidence settle the argument. We learn because we find it interesting.

One team, said straight

One technology team, pulling the same way — and we do our best work in the same room, at pace. We don’t blame other people or other teams, we give direct, helpful, constructive feedback, and we pick up the phone instead of hiding behind long email trails.

We own it

We don’t wait to be told — we see what needs doing and take it on. We deliver accurately and on time, and manage expectations early rather than going quiet. When timelines get long or things get hard, we stay the course and own the outcome, not just the task.

Trusted with what matters

We run critical national infrastructure and hold our customers’ most sensitive data — so the details are not details. Sovereignty, security and quality aren’t features, they’re the job. We hold a high bar and get the small things right, because the big things depend on them, and we build it to last.

Be honest with yourself.

DataVita is not like most places you have worked. The pace, intensity and ambition that come with hyper-growth are not for everyone — and that is completely fine. Read these honestly before you apply.

You will thrive here if…

  • You would rather figure something out yourself than wait to be shown.
  • You challenge processes that do not make sense, even when nobody asked you to.
  • You are energised by ambiguity, pace and shifting priorities.
  • You want to be part of building something, not just maintaining it.
  • You take personal ownership of outcomes, not just tasks.
  • You learn in your own time because you find it interesting, not because you were told to.
  • You do your best work alongside other people, in the room, at pace.

It is probably not for you if…

  • You need a clearly defined role with a fixed set of responsibilities that rarely changes.
  • You prefer to work from home most of the time and are most productive on your own.
  • You wait for formal training before engaging with new technology or new ways of working.
  • You follow processes without questioning whether they are the right ones.
  • You need close management and regular direction to stay productive.
  • You measure your value by tasks completed rather than the impact of what you deliver.
  • You find rapid change stressful rather than energising.

Still reading and thinking “this sounds like me”? Then we would love to hear from you — this could be one of the best career decisions you make.
