Securitas USA to hire 40 security professionals to protect new high-performance data center in North Dakota

Securitas North America has announced it will hire 40 security professionals to support the launch of a new data center focused on artificial intelligence in Ellendale, North Dakota. Securitas reports that it will deliver on-site protective services for the facility, which has been designed, built, and will be operated by Applied Digital, with operations expected to begin later in 2025.

Securitas states that its personnel will manage strict access control and perimeter patrols, training all officers to use Lenel for access management and Milestone for video surveillance. The company’s services are intended to help secure this mission-critical infrastructure as Applied Digital expands its presence in North Dakota. Securitas already provides coverage for two Applied Digital blockchain mining facilities in the state; the Ellendale location marks its first security assignment for the company’s data center dedicated to AI workloads.

The hiring initiative will be completed by September 15, 2025, according to Securitas. Roles open for recruitment include Account Manager, Supervisors, Security Officers, and Flex Officers. Supervisory positions require previous leadership or security experience, and Securitas will facilitate North Dakota security license training for new hires.

Mark Rice, Area Vice President – Upper Midwest at Securitas, stated, “We are extremely excited to announce a developing partnership with Applied Digital. This collaboration represents a shared commitment to operational excellence, safety, and innovation. As part of this collaboration, we are excited to begin hiring 40 new security professionals in North Dakota, creating high‑quality jobs and contributing to the region’s expanding workforce. Together, Securitas USA and Applied Digital are setting new standards for secure, sustainable, and scalable digital infrastructure in North Dakota and beyond.”
