You will be on the construction site daily, interacting with the construction trades as Amazon\u2019s owner\u2019s representative.

At Amazon, we are all Owners and leverage unique opportunities presented to us by owning everything from design review to construction bidding to construction execution and final hand-off to our customers. We are a diverse, upbeat, creative team of engineers and managers working daily to develop innovative data centers for our Customers.
