The successful candidate for this position will be a key part of the Engineering Team and will be responsible for project and construction management of industrial development, including new builds, retrofits, expansion, and program initiatives from site selection through contract execution. Construction Managers will oversee construction of new Fulfillment Centers (FCs), Sortation Centers (SCs), Delivery Stations (DSs), and auxiliary buildings that support those facilities, as well as renovations and tenant improvements at existing buildings.
Construction Managers will also handle the implementation of the facility network infrastructure, perform deep dive reviews of job budgets, and partner with internal customers and external stakeholders such as consultants and contractors to deliver projects efficiently. They will serve as Amazon’s representative and direct point of interface with developers and general contractors, and act as the primary integrator between construction and other Amazon stakeholders responsible for equipping, furnishing, and operating our FCs.

- Prepare reports, specifications, and technical analysis to fully define the design requirements, equipment, and services required for capacity expansion and remodel projects.
- Negotiate contracts and contract changes with developers and general contractors, and present formal documentation for approval when required.
- Provide overall site management, coordination, planning, and specification of business proposals, and coordinate subcontractors.

- Partner with teams tasked with transition of base building management and oversight of all turnover documentation.
- Review designs and ongoing construction for conformance to current building specifications.
- Provide critical review of current design standards to identify value engineering and design enhancement opportunities for internal engineering and schematic design partners.
- Receipt, review, and analysis of all proposed cost and time change requests as presented by external project teams.
- Review and guide internally requested changes for validity, impact, and ensure timely and cost‑sensitive incorporation once approved.
- Lead or assist in negotiations with appropriate regulatory bodies and authority‑having‑jurisdiction entities as required.
- Communicate clearly and transparently across teams for all aspects of project delivery.
