• Positively influence external vendors and consultants’ designs and deliverables to meet requirements and timelines.

Amazon has a global presence; therefore 15–25% travel is necessary. Regional support will be part of the job, and some travel will be required on short notice. Support could consist of auditing/inspecting data centers, working on international teams, or developing schematic and design document packages for both future and existing sites. In this role you will need the ability and willingness to travel for site walks and field observations internationally and domestically with short notice.

Your day will be dynamic and impactful, involving collaborative design sessions, technical problem‑solving, and strategic planning. You will engage with cross‑functional teams, review complex engineering challenges, and develop comprehensive solutions that enhance data center performance and sustainability.

The Fleet Remediation Engineering team is dedicated to creating world‑class data center infrastructure. We value innovative thinking, collaborative problem‑solving, and a commitment to excellence. You will work alongside passionate engineers who are transforming how technology interfaces with physical infrastructure.
