Project Engineer, Data Center Construction

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.

As a Data Center Project Engineer, you will be part of a creative, diverse team

tasked with solving fascinating problems in constructing Amazon Data Centers.

Our data centers are industry examples of energy-efficient, cost-effective

designs. You will work alongside partner teams such as Operations, Networking,

Controls, Security, and Commissioning to build Data Centers that directly

support our customers.

As our Data Center Project Engineer, you will support the teams that build some

of the most interesting electrical and mechanical systems in the world. You will

be on the construction site daily, interacting with construction managers and

stakeholders, and be directly responsible for supporting the fast, high-quality

delivery of our data center construction. The Data Center Project Engineer will

be part of the onsite Construction Management team and will own the

communication coordination with our vendors, information workflow, and

coordination of document management, including requests for information (RFI),

change orders, reports, and schedule updates.

At Amazon, we are all Owners and leverage unique opportunities presented to us

by owning everything from the design review to construction bidding to

construction execution and final hand-off to our customers. We are a diverse,

upbeat, creative team of engineers and managers working on a daily basis to

develop innovative data centers for our customers.

Key job responsibilities

The Data Center Project Engineer will be responsible for:

• Leading cross-functional communication and coordination between regional

general contractors, stakeholders, and internal teams, ensuring seamless

information flow for construction protocols, documentation access, and

standardized procedures

• Developing and maintaining comprehensive tracking systems for design

modifications, RFIs, and change orders, creating detailed dashboards with

priority levels and deadlines for regional leadership review

• Evaluating Method of Procedure (MOP) submissions for thoroughness, necessity,

and risk assessment

• Managing vendor onboarding processes, including security credentialing and

orientation programs

• Maintaining current project management software with critical milestone

updates, correspondence records, and document control

• Coordinating and monitoring owner-furnished material deliveries to ensure

timely arrival at construction sites

• Establishing and managing a centralized repository for contractor-supplied

construction data

• Overseeing quality assurance programs through implementation of various

checklists, including substantial completion verification, safety protocols, and

quality control measures
