Data Center Technician - Internship, Data Center Operations

Job :  | Amazon Data Services UK Limited

This role is based at a data center facility in a remote location with no public transportation access. A valid driving license and access to personal transportation are required to commute to the site daily. Please consider this before applying.

At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we are working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people. Are you ready to embrace the challenge? Come build the future with us.

This is a unique opportunity to work in some of the most cutting-edge data centers in the world. Amazon data centers are large-scale, high-density facilities where you will help change the face of cloud technology in the region — and your work will directly impact millions of customers.

This internship is designed as a potential pathway to full-time employment. Interns who demonstrate strong performance throughout their internship may be considered for a full-time Data Center Technician position, subject to available roles and business needs.

We welcome applications from:

• Students in the last year of their Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical field such as Information Technology, Computer Hardware Repair, or similar.

• You will provide our internal teams with infrastructure-related support, resolving tickets related to hardware (motherboards, Random Access Memory, Central Processing Units, Graphics Processing Units, and more) and networking (link-down events, optics replacements, switch replacements, and more).
• In addition to hardware and network repair, you will learn how to install equipment, create documentation, innovate solutions, and fix complex problems within the data center environment.

Your day-to-day duties include:

• Troubleshooting server hardware alongside experienced AWS technicians
• Meeting Service Level Agreements (SLAs) against assigned trouble tickets
• Shadowing AWS technicians during network troubleshooting to build your diagnostic skills
• Replacing media (Solid State Drives and Hard Disk Drives) in accordance with AWS Data Tech guidance
• Performing regular server hardware repairs (drives, motherboards, and other components) under the guidance of experienced technicians
• Interacting with third-party vendors and contractors working on site

Amazon internships are full-time (40 hours per week) for 12 consecutive weeks, starting in summer 2027. This position requires the intern to report to work on site daily. Intern schedules are typically day schedules, Monday through Friday.

Please note that a full-time Data Center Technician position could involve day, evening, or weekend shifts and on-call rotations. Candidates should be willing and able to commit to shift work upon transitioning to a full‑time position.

AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed below, we encourage you to apply. If your career is just starting, has not followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, do not let that stop you from applying.

• Impact. Your work shapes the infrastructure that millions of customers rely on every day. Every server you repair and every network issue you resolve keeps the cloud running.
• Action. You will move fast, learn by doing, and solve real problems from day one. Your ideas do not get stuck in approval chains — they get tested, refined, and put into practice.
• Curiosity. Every project teaches you something new. You will apply what you learned in the classroom…
