• Review and accept proposed changes to the site-specific control infrastructure against AWS Data Center standards, and document accepted deviations when appropriate.

• Review Colo and Hybrid controls sequence of operation and provide feedback to design.

• Support the design for existing Colo Data Center control system upgrades and design-solutions, which add capacity, improve availability, and increase efficiency.

• Troubleshoot, conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and create Corrective Action (CA) documentation for site/equipment failures related to control equipment.

• Conduct site audits of Colo Data Centers, including producing reports outlining risks with recommended mitigations and remediation.

• Support construction, commissioning, and turnover for Controls for any new construction projects (could be remote with local Colo Engineer presence).

• Lead internal team training and knowledge sharing sessions on Colo controls.

• Review and improve controls related processes, including quick reference guides for the team.
