Sr. Water Systems Engineer, DC Design Engineering; AWS

Job :  | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

Do you dream of working in a role where your talent with water chemistry, quality, sustainability, and next-generation data center design can be merged? Do you want to expand your current knowledge of water treatment systems while providing input from your previous experience? Have you ever wondered what it is like to be able to influence construction on a global scale?

YES! Then keep reading…

In this role you will influence water chemistry and treatment, coordinating with design engineering, construction, operations, and maintenance for our global fleet of data centers, including on site and large campus water systems. You will work with internal and external teams to define, design, detail, and document the various water treatment features that our facilities require, using both prescriptive and performance-based design approaches.

As an Owner, you will ensure the water treatment features of our buildings protect our people and keep our customers’ data safe and uninterrupted over the life of the building. We expect you to contribute your expertise to the continual improvement of our water system design standards.

Primary responsibilities will be to perform and oversee project-related work, such as water supply analysis and design for buildings, including coordination with utilities and internal water teams to establish basic site infrastructure requirements; coordinate water treatment system space requirements, supporting utilities, and equipment locations; and provide detailed construction specifications for water treatment systems. You will typically be responsible for the preparation of detailed designs for water treatment and sustainability systems.

You will coordinate with all design disciplines to ensure they meet the code requirements described in our design standards. In some cases, you will oversee and review this work and in other cases you will perform the work yourself.

As the team’s subject matter expert, you will ensure that contractors have the information they need to build our data centers the way we expect them to, and that our operations teams are well equipped to operate and maintain them as needed to meet our goals. You will work with internal and external stakeholders, including design engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, vendors, service providers, and local officials.
