Description

About AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Do you enjoy taking an idea and turning it into something? Do you ever find yourself marveling at buildings, infrastructure, or landmarks and ask "what does it take to build something like that?" This new role “Regional Safety Engineer – DCPD” is for an experienced Health and Safety (H&S) Specialist, H&S Engineer, or H&S Manager who will support AWS Data Center Planning and Delivery (DCPD) programs. Internally, you will partner with DCPD teams such as Real Estate, Due Diligence, Permitting, Energy, Water, Pre-Construction, Construction, Commissioning, Security and Procurement Teams to achieve health and safety goals and improve our safety culture. Externally, you will engage with General Contractors and AWS Suppliers to confirm/clarify the business expectations for H&S, and look for ways to continually improve H&S of our contracted services. You will work under the direction of H&S Program Specialists within the assigned region (Americas, Europe Middle East Africa, or Asia Pacific/Japan China).

Key job responsibilities

You will influence program development, framework and strategy but will be responsible for deploying programs that cover H&S elements of leadership, planning, support, operational controls, continuous improvement, performance management, ensure the businesses are operating to jurisdictional requirements, and AWS Safety Management Program (SMP) requirements.

Examples

• Review due diligence risk assessments with real estate, preconstruction, construction operations on H&S aspects of the AWS H&S management program to ensure adequate implementation.
• Coordinates with DCPD managers to prioritize H&S in planning and execution in all phases of DCPD projects.
• Ensures & Monitors General Contractors and AWS deployment vendors compliance to onboarding requirements in Avetta.
• Performs campus H&S kickoff sessions, and performs reviews of General Contractor and AWS deployment vendor’s Construction Safety Management Plans
• Documents data and anecdotes in standard reporting tools (Weekly Business Reviews, Monthly Project Reviews) for DCPD and H&S leadership teams
• Manages 3rd party/internal H&S resources on DCPD projects (weekly business reviews, monthly project reviews)
• Identifies improvement opportunities at project(s), and partners with Data Center Health and Safety (DCHS) Operational Team on regional issues that impact construction/operations handover phases.
• Audits projects to the mental model ‘do you have a process, and are you following it?’ Then analyzes data (leading and lagging indicators) for trends, risks/opportunities and reports out at project/regional levels and within governance programs
• Conduct regular site visits with H&S 3rd party resources, construction managers and Data Center Health and Safety Operational teams
• Hosts project and regional specific contractor and internal team H&S kickoff sessions and annual performance review sessions.
  
  

A day in the life

You will be integrated with a global network of H&S professionals including program specialists, regional safety managers, and regional safety engineers in operational teams.

This role requires approximately 50% travel to field construction locations.

You will use data and anecdotes to tactically drive internal customers to manage H&S risks, which includes being an escalation path for issue resolution and managing site-based H&S team members and/or consultants. You will apply your knowledge of the jurisdictional requirements, regional best practices, cultural norms, and location specific characteristics to improve DCPD activities in H&S by jumping in and showing the business “this is what the data is telling us, and this is how it is done” and develop DCPD competencies to enable them ownership of your solutions.

You must be an effective communicator, sending clear, concise and consistent messages verbally, in written form, and/or public speaking forums. You will play a key role in deploying mechanisms that manage H&S, while developing competencies and ownership of H&S in the business. You must have diplomacy, patience and tact to earn trust in relationships to effectively advise, instruct and challenge DCPD teams on H&S.
