Civil BIM Designer, DC Design Engineering

Description

Are you an experienced Civil Designer with a passion for BIM? Are you a creative, smart, and driven individual that enjoys working on complex projects within a team environment? If this is you, we want YOU on our team!

You will be part of a highly creative and efficient multi‑disciplinary BIM design team, tasked with designing challenging and complex projects with innovative solutions for Amazon‑owned data center facilities. You will provide support to our Design Engineering team through the preparation of Civil models and site designs utilizing Civil 3D and Revit. You will influence data center design documents for campus planning, grading and drainage design, stormwater management, site utilities and building tie‑in, pavement design, and site development documentation.

You will produce and maintain Civil drawing sets for our fleet of data centers.

Daily responsibilities will include designing the Civil infrastructure of data center sites, utilizing Civil 3D to create and maintain BIM site/campus models. You must be able to work independently with occasional guidance and work within a team environment to accomplish assigned tasks. This includes working with internal groups as well as external suppliers and consultants, manufacturers, vendors, and contractors.

• Being self‑motivated to work within the BIM Design group and across other teams.
• Preparing and developing detailed Civil BIM models and site layouts, coordinated and aligned with our latest building designs.
• Developing and publishing construction documentation for Civil site and campus designs in a fast‑paced environment to meet scheduled deliverables.
• Creating and maintaining regional and global template documents, with content libraries for both Civil 3D and Revit.
• Updating and modifying existing models, studies and construction documents as required.
• Assisting the creation and maintenance of BIM templates and enforcing BIM standards across Civil 3D and Revit workflows.
• Participating in design coordination meetings with other trades for clash detection and resolution.
• Working on concurrent projects in multiple geographical locations.
• Assisting information exchange processes between internal and external customers in a Common Data Environment (CDE).
• Recording and reporting of key metrics to management.
• Traveling to data center sites for engineering evaluations and surveys as required. On average: once or twice a year.
• Being positive and always offering creative, out‑of‑the‑box solutions.
• Having fun and working hard!

As a Designer, you will collaborate across disciplines and teams to refine data center designs. Your work includes creating detailed models, drawings, specifications, and prototypes, and updating managers and leaders on changes to the building and site design. You engage in design discussions, review feedback from peers and collaborators, and adjust designs to ensure our data center solutions meet the highest standards of efficiency and quality.

In this role, you'll receive coaching and guidance from experienced managers and leaders who will help develop your technical and professional skills. You'll be expected to proactively seek feedback, participate in regular check‑ins, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives while maintaining open communication with all stakeholders.
