You'll work independently on undefined technical problems, driving standards and quality improvements while influencing priorities and system design decisions. Your expertise will be crucial in delivering integrated solutions that extend infrastructure lifecycle, remove construction barriers, and have far-reaching impacts on partner teams. You'll be expected to make technical trade-offs between short-term project needs and long-term business requirements, while continuously driving engineering, testing, and operational excellence improvements. Your extensive knowledge of infrastructure system architecture, construction methodologies, and civil engineering principles will be instrumental in implementing and standardizing pre-construction best practices, ultimately shaping the future of Amazon's global data center construction methodology.
