Construction Manager , Data Center Capacity Delivery

Overview

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure continual access to services.

Amazon Construction Managers (CMs) lead construction innovation and focus on delivering the most innovative products to our customers. Data Center CMs oversee day-to-day construction and manage contractors, serving as leaders within their discipline (construction management, building services, architectural, electrical, or mechanical engineering) to deliver sophisticated electrical and mechanical systems.

At Amazon we own the entire stack—from substations to servers and back to cooling towers. Our team is diverse, upbeat, and team-oriented, working daily to develop data centers that transform data facilities.

Daily responsibilities span the full data center lifecycle construction, from site feasibility and procurement of design teams through design review, daily construction oversight, and commissioning of facilities.

• Provide operational support of installed facilities, including review of procedures, best practices, and maintenance initiatives.
• Be a leader within the group and with internal and external teams that support the data center.

A day in the life

AWS Construction Managers lead the delivery of Data Center projects, working closely with internal stakeholders and contractors, resolving project issues, managing RFIs and contracts, and other key delivery functions.
