Data Center Project Manager, Critical Projects Implementation; AWS

Data Center Project Manager, Critical Projects Implementation

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that keep our customers’ applications running reliably. We work on challenging problems with thousands of variables, and are looking for talented people who want to help improve the world’s most reliable cloud.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate across AWS to deliver safety and security standards while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. You’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own projects to completion.

The Critical Projects Implementation (CPI) team manages construction activity within operational data center spaces. The CPI team handles critical infrastructure improvement projects that optimize space, power, and cooling utilization across data centers worldwide. These projects are outside the scope of standard construction delivery and routine maintenance.

The Project Manager is responsible for project oversight and review of all disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, controls, and architectural. The role requires a fundamental understanding of these systems, the ability to identify improvement areas, and to act on data from other teams and organizations. You will design, develop and deploy innovative solutions to address operational challenges and work independently and within multi‑disciplinary teams on projects such as electrical, mechanical, fire detection, and building automation system improvements.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, project management, construction management or similar technical focus
• 5+ years of electrical, mechanical or data center engineering experience
