Manager, AMER BIM Engineering – Mechanical, Design Engineering

Description

Do you have a passion for working in a role where your expertise in BIM, HVAC, plumbing design, and next-generation data center innovation converge into a single leadership opportunity? Have you ever envisioned shaping the future of BIM at a scale that spans the globe and redefines how data centers are designed and built? If these questions resonate with you, we invite you to explore this opportunity further.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a BIM Engineering Manager to lead the Americas Mechanical BIM design group, part of a global engineering team responsible for the design and continuous innovation of our rapidly expanding data center footprint. In this role you will manage a team of BIM designers influencing all aspects of mechanical BIM design, coordination, and documentation—including HVAC, plumbing, and hydronic systems—across the Americas.

You will work with internal and external teams to define, design, detail, and document the mechanical features our facilities require, coordinating system space requirements, supporting utilities, and equipment locations across all mechanical‑related trades. You will review all models and drawings to ensure they meet applicable regional code requirements described in our design standards, and contribute your expertise to the continual improvement of our BIM quality and standard operating procedures.

As the team's subject‑matter expert you will serve as the point of escalation for the team on technical BIM systems for mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection. You will ensure the team has the information and tools they need to design 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, construction, operations, vendors, and other service providers—and with organizational leadership to implement strategy by contributing to our Innovation and Strategic Roadmap, defining team goals, and executing the tactics that drive results.

• Lead and develop a high‑performing team of Mechanical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection BIM design professionals through targeted recruitment, mentoring, and rigorous performance management.
• Own and continuously elevate BIM quality standards, best practices, and templates across the organization, ensuring full compliance with AWS standards.
• Drive capacity delivery design projects, schedules, and budgets to meet business objectives, embedding LEAN principles to foster a culture of continuous improvement.
• Review and approve MEP/ICT Revit models and construction documents, providing comprehensive technical oversight of template and reference models.
• Define and execute a strategic roadmap for BIM implementation, leading process improvements that measurably enhance design delivery efficiency.
• Partner with Design Engineering senior leadership and key stakeholders to shape priorities and influence processes across multiple teams.
• Champion cross‑functional collaboration with internal teams, external consultants, vendors, and contractors to ensure consistent, high‑quality project delivery.
• Own reporting on goals, quality, and performance metrics to Senior Managers and Directors, translating data into actionable insights.
• Work Travel:
  This position requires up to 25% travel.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical field.
• Minimum of 5 years managing a team of BIM designers and engineers.
• Cumulative 10+ years of experience in BIM engineering or the construction industry, covering all aspects of mechanical design, including fire suppression systems, fire alarm and detection systems, fire‑resistive construction, and life safety.

• Experience in BIM/AEC design technologies, with a focus on mechanical systems in data centers, critical medical, industrial, oil and gas, or large‑scale mechanical and power systems environments.
• Detailed knowledge of industry BIM standards and best practices, including BIMForum LOD Specification, AIA, and NBIMS standards.
• Experience applying local codes, NFPA standards,…
