Description

Application deadline: Sep 13, 2026

Amazon's Global Engineering Services (GES) North America Design & Construction team is seeking a Preconstruction Manager to serve as Amazon's owner's representative during the preconstruction phase of facility delivery. In this role, you will independently manage difficult, cross-functional industrial preconstruction projects — from site selection and validation through design management, permitting, and contract execution — for new builds, retrofits, expansions, and program initiatives across your assigned region.

You will partner with internal teams — including Real Estate, Design Engineering, Finance, and Construction — and external stakeholders — including architects, engineers, developers, landlords, and permitting agencies — to establish scope, budget, and schedule, and to ensure timely receipt of building and site permits. You are accountable for a clean, well-defined handoff to the Construction Manager, and you remain a key support resource for the construction team throughout the project lifecycle.

Projects include fulfillment centers, sortation centers, delivery stations, and auxiliary buildings supporting Amazon's logistics network, ranging from targeted renovations to large-scale new facility builds. This role combines construction engineering, planning, project management, real estate development, multi-disciplinary design management, and contract management.

This role requires 60% regional travel and availability to work from a corporate office when not traveling. Candidates should either live near or be willing to relocate within a reasonable commuting distance of the office. Relocation assistance may be provided.

• Lead site selection and validation, scope development, and design management — coordinating with design teams to develop site plans and composite floor plans in compliance with Amazon's design standards and operational requirements
• Manage multiple concurrent large industrial projects across various locations simultaneously
• Perform conceptual estimating and pricing reviews for scope inclusions and exclusions; negotiate the cost of work with developers, general contractors, and design consultants
• Own comprehensive budget tracking, schedule management, and cashflow forecasting across assigned projects
• Manage vendor procurement and oversee professional service providers, ensuring their skills and competencies meet the requirements for entitling properties and projects
• Coordinate with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for permitting, regulatory compliance, and approvals; understand zoning, planning, fire code, and building code requirements
• Review and analyze design and construction contracts, related exhibits, and lease agreements; provide detailed analysis of technical matters and site-specific deal structures and terms
• Review additional reports including noise and traffic studies and environmental assessments
• Partner with the Transaction team and developers to optimize schedule and strategy for entitlements and long-lead procurement
• Keep scope under control and accelerate progress by driving crisp, timely decisions, identifying and clearing blockers, and escalating appropriately
• Prepare and present project status and risk reports; translate technical documents and information into clear, concise narratives for leadership and customers
• Identify and resolve upstream issues proactively to support a clean hand off to the Construction Manager; remain a support resource for the construction team throughout the project lifecycle
• Champion Amazon's safety programs and standards across all internal and external project teams during the pre-construction phase
• Optimize pre-construction processes and implement improvements in procedures and playbooks to improve project efficiency and delivery
• Seek sustainable, environmentally responsible solutions throughout the pre-construction process in alignment with Amazon's building practices
