AWS - Data Centre Technician Internship, Bahrain

AWS - Information Technology/Computer Hardware Internship (2026 Intern-to-Full-Time Pathway), Bahrain

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is growing rapidly, and we are looking for Data Center Technician Interns to join our expanding team. This internship is designed as a potential pathway to full‑time employment. Interns who demonstrate strong performance throughout their internship and are successful upon completion may be considered for a full‑time Data Center Technician position, subject to available open roles and business needs at that time.

We are targeting two candidate profiles:

• Recent 2025 Graduates:
  If you have recently graduated (or are due to graduate by early 2025) in Information Technology, Computer Hardware Repair, or a related technical field, this opportunity is for you. Upon successful completion of your 12‑week internship, you may transition directly into a full‑time role.
• Final‑Year Students (Graduating 2026):
  If you are currently in your final year of studies in Information Technology, Computer Hardware Repair, or a related technical field, we want to hear from you. Upon successful completion of your 12‑week internship, you may commence as a full‑time employee by the end of 2026, aligned with your graduation.

Internship start dates are flexible from April to October 2026. Transition to a full‑time role is subject to successful performance during the internship, role availability, and business needs.

Note:

Amazon does not sponsor for immigration, including for H-1B, TN, and other non‑immigrant visas, for this role.
