About Us

GreenScale is a sustainable data centre platform supporting the advanced digital infrastructure of hyperscale, AI and cloud customers.

GreenScale is committed to providing a scalable and sustainable data centre platform that will not only serve advanced digital infrastructure clients but also positively contribute to the energy infrastructure and local communities in which it operates.

Strategically placed in Europe’s expanding data centre regions, GreenScale’s data centres will positively contribute to energy ecosystems, supporting grid stability through alternative power solutions and anchoring renewable developments in the market.

Through our deep industry knowledge and European expertise, GreenScale will positively impact communities by providing a more robust energy infrastructure that supports local economic growth.

Our Culture and Values

At GreenScale, we are more than a data centre provider — we’re building the foundation for a sustainable digital future.

Our mission is to create energy-efficient, Cloud and AI-ready data centres that positively contribute to the grid, local communities, and the digital economy. We believe that how we work together is just as important as what we build.

We foster a culture of collaboration, ownership and innovation, where diverse perspectives lead to better solutions. We challenge ideas, debate respectfully, and come together to make the best decisions. Once aligned, we execute with full commitment and shared purpose.

We’re looking for people who:

• Take Ownership – You don’t just identify problems; you take responsibility for solving them.
• Engage in Constructive Debate – You challenge ideas respectfully, influence outcomes positively, and maintain strong relationships.
• Think Sustainably – You make decisions that balance commercial needs with environmental and social responsibility.
• Drive Innovation – You embrace change, explore new ideas, and push boundaries in a fast-paced environment.
• Work as One Team – You break down silos, share knowledge, and support each other to achieve shared goals.
• Embrace Diversity – You seek out different perspectives, value inclusive collaboration, and help create a workplace where everyone belongs.

About the role

GreenScale is developing Tonstad DataPark, one of the Nordics’ most ambitious sustainable digital infrastructure projects, and a long-term investment in Sirdal and Agder. We are building it the right way, with local people, local partners and a lasting presence in the community.

We are not a fly-in, fly-out company. As our Community Manager, you are the face of GreenScale in the area. You are present in Tonstad every day, easy to reach, and trusted across the community. You are the person residents come to with their questions, their ideas and their concerns, and the person who makes sure they are always heard.

This is a permanent, long-term role. Whether the project is in planning, construction or operation, we want the same familiar, trusted face alongside the community throughout the journey.

Key responsibilities

• Be GreenScale’s everyday presence in Tonstad, in the office and out in the community, available to residents and anyone who comes by with questions about the project.
• Build genuine, respectful relationships across the area, with residents, cabin owners, Sirdal kommune, local businesses and community groups, including those who hold concerns about the project.
• Act as the first point of contact for the community, handling day-to-day enquiries and information requests promptly and in plain Norwegian.
• Work closely, day to day, with the Managing Director Norway, Marketing and sustainability teams on community events, communications and administration.
• Help bring people together through public meetings (folkemøte), open days (Åpen Dag) and local events.
• Listen carefully, capture community feedback, and make sure emerging issues reach the right people early.
• Champion local recruitment, local suppliers and community partnerships, helping GreenScale put down real roots in the area.
• Represent GreenScale as a genuinely good neighbour: open, locally grounded and consistent.

Profile

• Strong local knowledge of Sirdal and Agder. Ideally you live in or near the area and know the community well.
• Fluent Norwegian and good working English.
• Excellent interpersonal skills. You are approachable, diplomatic and trusted, and you stay calm and respectful in disagreement.
• Well organised and confident across events, communications and administration.
• A self-starter who works happily from a local office, and equally well as part of a wider team.

What we offer

• A meaningful, long-term role on a landmark project, based in your own community.
• The chance to be the trusted local face of a company investing in Sirdal for the long run, working alongside our Norway team.
• Competitive base salary depending on experience, plus pension and insurance to Norwegian standard.
• An immediate start, and the opportunity to help shape how GreenScale and the Tonstad community grow together.
