Modine Set to Fill 300 Roles as Data Center Cooling Operations Expand

Modine's Ambitious Expansion: Hiring 300 for Data Center Cooling

Modine, listed on the NYSE as MOD, is making significant strides in the realm of thermal management technology. With a pronounced demand for energy-efficient cooling solutions for data centers, the company is on a robust hiring spree aimed at filling up to 300 positions at its Franklin, Wisconsin facility. This effort is crucial as Modine's cooling technology is increasingly being sought after in the expanding U.S. data center market.

Overview of the Hiring Fair

Scheduled for September 24, the hiring fair will take place from 4 PM to 7 PM at 3303 W. Oakwood Road in Franklin. The company encourages job seekers to register in advance but assures that walk-ins are also welcome. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with HR professionals and undergo on-the-spot interviews, showcasing the company's commitment to finding talent quickly and efficiently.

Demand and Expansion

The catalyst behind this expansion is the rising need for advanced thermal management solutions that optimize the performance and sustainability of data centers. Notably, in September 2025, Modine inaugurated a 153,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Franklin, solely focused on producing Airedale™ data center cooling systems to cater to this growing market. Karen Sutherland, Vice President of Human Resources for Data Centers at Modine, highlighted the increasing commitment to meet customer demands while building a dedicated workforce that can provide essential cooling solutions.

Job Opportunities and Benefits

The available positions primarily include production assemblers, with starting wages set at $23 per hour, along with an additional $1 per hour for second shift roles. The positions offered do not require prior manufacturing experience, as Modine provides extensive on-the-job training, making it an excellent opportunity for those looking to enter the manufacturing sector. Eligible new employees will also benefit from health insurance and additional perks starting from their first day of employment.

The company has expressed a commitment to continuous hiring over the coming months to fill these roles, supported by a comprehensive recruitment initiative that includes billboard advertising throughout the Milwaukee area to attract more applicants.
