It excludes on-call waiting or availability pay, overtime, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses and benefits. The on-call exclusion covers time awaiting a call to work, not ordinary wages for hours actually worked. These are straight-time gross wages, not pure base salary or total compensation.

What the published rows say about Wilmington, NC data center hiring
CEO / President, Data Center Platform maps to Chief Executives, SOC 11-1011. For Wilmington, NC, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $298,730; the middle half runs from $174,510 to $499,990. This is a broader occupation, not a separate wage estimate for this exact job. BLS does not separate seniority titles that share this row. Define decision authority and the scope of the team or account before setting the offer. The occupation estimate does not separately price your site's responsibilities.
The middle-half spread is $325,480: $124,220 from the 25th percentile to the median and $201,260 from the median to the 75th. The upper interval is wider. Use these points to compare an offer, not to price a junior or senior hire. Percentiles are not experience bands, and this distribution alone does not explain why individual workers earn different amounts.
The local median is $84,740 above the national $213,990 on the same annual basis. Both rows cover SOC 11-1011 in May 2025. This is a wage comparison, not a cost-of-living adjustment or evidence of a separate data center premium.
