Construction Manager – Data Center Design, Engineering and Construction

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and all the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

As a Data Center Construction Manager, you will be part of a creative, diverse team tasked with solving fascinating problems in constructing Amazon Data Centers. Our data centers are industry‑leading examples of energy‑efficient, cost‑effective designs. You will work alongside partner teams such as Operations, Networking, Controls, Security, and Commissioning to build Data Centers that directly support our Customers.

You will be on the construction site daily, interacting with the construction trades as Amazon's owner’s representative. You will be directly responsible for driving cost, schedule, and quality while managing construction vendors and contractors building data centers.

Key job responsibilities

• Direct interface with construction general contractors during the bidding, award, execution, and project closeout/punch list phases.
• Conduct negotiations with general contractors and evaluate bids/proposals with detail and accuracy.
• Create construction project scope and requests for proposals.
• Perform financial analysis of construction.
• Manage construction projects for specific initiatives aimed at increasing the resiliency of our data centers.
• Conduct constructability reviews of electrical and mechanical designs associated with the construction of new data centers or optimization of existing data centers.
• Manage construction documents including submittal review, RFIs, change orders, and invoicing.
• Ensure construction project quality control.
• Record and report key construction metrics to team members and management.
• Drive teams to perform troubleshooting and root‑cause failure analysis associated with equipment failures.
• Be a leader within the group as well as within internal and external teams that support the data center.

About The Team

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
