Join our team
Google’s proud to employ local people who help our data centers function at their best.
Lowcountry, South Carolina
Our facility in Lowcountry, South Carolina, is one of our first data centers in
the United States, and we’re proud of what we have built and innovated within
the community. Since coming to South Carolina in 2007, we’ve invested locally to
support job creation, business growth, and community initiatives. From creating
more than 900 jobs for our neighbors to investing to allow internet service to
be provided to 365 homes occupied by students in the Berkeley County School
District at no charge for one school year, we work with the local leaders and
organizations to build up the communities where our employees live and work, so
they can prosper in the digital future.
