DATA CENTERS

Critical infrastructure runs on qualified people, not just qualified equipment.

As data centers take on natural gas generation, fuel cells, and on-site storage, the workforce qualification requirements are keeping pace, while most workforce systems aren't.

The compliance environment is evolving fast.

As data centers expand their energy footprint, by adding natural gas generators, fuel cells, on-site LNG/CNG storage, and complex electrical and mechanical systems, the workforce qualification requirements that come with them are growing as well. NFPA 70E, OSHA CFR 1910, and state-specific energy regulations define competency requirements for the trades working on this infrastructure. EWN helps you build and manage a qualification program that keeps pace.

You're managing complex energy infrastructure with workforce systems built for a simpler world.

Hyperscale and colocation data centers are increasingly operating more like energy facilities than traditional IT infrastructure sites. Natural gas, backup generation, fuel cell systems, and high-voltage electrical infrastructure require skilled trades workers whose competencies need to be tracked, documented, and renewed, just like in any regulated energy operation.


  • Contractor workforce spans multiple trades and employers without a unified view of qualification status
  • Skilled trades qualifications expire; manual tracking misses renewals until it's too late
  • Regulatory requirements for energy-adjacent systems are growing, making qualification documentation a requirement
  • Safety incidents tied to unqualified workers on critical infrastructure carry significant operational and reputational risk

Workforce qualification management built for complex, high-stakes environments.

EWN's platform gives data center operators the tools to build structured qualification programs for their skilled trades workforce, whether the task is electrical, mechanical, fuel systems, or anything in between. It's the same platform used by the largest energy operators in North America, applied to the infrastructure powering the digital economy.

Custom Qualification Programs

Build qualification programs around your specific infrastructure and task requirements. EWN's content development tools let your team create computer-based trainings (CBTs) and performance evaluations for proprietary systems, non-standard tasks, and contractor requirements that off-the-shelf training platforms don't cover.

Contractor Qualification Visibility

Manage qualification records for the full roster of contractors working on your site—across all trades and employers. Know who's qualified for what before they arrive on site, and flag any gaps before work begins.

Renewal Tracking and Expiration Alerts

EWN automatically tracks qualification expiration windows and alerts program administrators before gaps appear. Critical infrastructure shouldn't go offline because a qualification lapsed.
