ELLENDALE, N.D., Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Securitas, a global leader in protective services, today announced plans to hire 40 security professionals to support a new data center designed to support artificial intelligence in Ellendale, North Dakota. This expansion underscores Securitas' commitment to safeguarding mission-critical infrastructure and creating meaningful employment opportunities in the region.
The data center, designed, built, and operated by Applied Digital, is set to open later this year. While Securitas already supports two of the company's blockchain mining facilities in the state, this marks the beginning of services at a new site located at 9685 8th Ave. SE, Ellendale, ND 58436.
"We are extremely excited to announce a developing partnership with Applied Digital. This collaboration represents a shared commitment to operational excellence, safety, and innovation.

Together, Securitas and Applied Digital are setting new standards for secure, sustainable, and scalable digital infrastructure in North Dakota and beyond." — Mark Rice, Area Vice President – Upper Midwest, Securitas Security Services USA, Inc.
To ensure readiness by the service start date, hiring will be completed by September 15, 2025. Open roles include Account Manager, Supervisors, Security Officers, and Flex Officers.
All officers will provide on‑site services focused on strict access control and perimeter patrol. Officers will be trained to use Lenel for access control and Milestone for video management systems.
Securitas offers competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid time off, and company‑paid life insurance. Paid training is provided, and opportunities for career growth are available, particularly as Applied Digital is expected to expand with additional data centers on the same site.
Applicants must be 18 or older with a high school diploma or GED, basic computer literacy, and the ability to read, write, and speak English. Supervisory and Account Manager roles require prior leadership or security experience. A North Dakota security license will be obtained through Securitas' training program.
