Network Infrastructure Design Quality Program Manager , Global Quality Team

Job Overview

Work with construction teams to integrate quality assurance into data center network pathway infrastructure construction throughout the project lifecycle. You’ll participate in construction design reviews, page turns, and reviews for construction documents, providing Quality Assurance representation to ensure standards are met during construction. You’ll influence construction managers, general contractors, colocation providers and relevant contractors to adopt quality assurance checklists that validate conformance to both Amazon and jurisdictional standards during critical construction milestone checks for pathway infrastructure.

You’ll bring the voice of the customer forward by gathering feedback from construction teams and internal stakeholders to refine quality processes. You’ll verify that pathway infrastructure construction meets installation requirements by reviewing documentation and data from milestone inspections. You’ll document and align on construction standards and standard operating procedures as new technology and construction methods integrate into our infrastructure. You’ll also conduct training with construction managers, and provide guidelines to general contractors, colocation providers and contractors to ensure consistent execution across all construction activities.

This role matters because construction quality directly impacts data center reliability and customer experience. You’ll own the quality process from participating in construction design reviews through training delivery, ensuring our infrastructure meets the standards our customers depend on.
