About This Role

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation

of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the

cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage,

networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have

continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging

problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re

looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply

chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles.

You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest

standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at

the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive

culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

The Critical Projects Implementation (CPI) team is a project management and

execution team that manages construction activity within the operational data

center spaces. The CPI team is tasked with critical infrastructure improvement

projects to optimize utilization of space, power, and cooling within operational

data centers around the globe. These activities are outside of the scope of

standard construction delivery and regular preventative maintenance tasks.

We are currently seeking a Data Center Project Manager to serve as a technical

resource within Amazon data centers. You will be part of a highly creative,

efficient team tasked with tackling the most fascinating and challenges in

designing, building, and operating Amazon data center facilities. The Project

Manager is ultimately responsible for project oversight and review of all

disciplines including electrical, mechanical, controls, and architectural. A

fundamental understanding of these systems is required, as the individual will

be expected to identify areas for improvement as well as act on data provided

from other team and organizations. Ideal candidates will possess the ability to

design, develop and deploy innovative solutions to address operational

challenges. This role requires both independent contribution as well as the

ability to work within multi-disciplinary teams. The scope of projects will

include but not limited to the improvement of electrical, mechanical, fire

detection and building automation system. The Project Manager is responsible for

the overall direction, coordination, implementation, execution, control and

completion of specific projects ensuring consistency with company strategy,

commitments and goals.
