Water Infrastructure Manager, AWS Water Team

Job ID: 2937312 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

You will deliver water sustainability projects for AWS Infrastructure in US West regions, as you execute on the delivery of multiple water infrastructure development projects, monitor operational efficiency metrics, and build in system resiliency after project hand-off to regional operations teams. You will also be the central point of contact for all issues pertaining to water and wastewater treatment and disinfection systems and for managing healthy relationships with utilities. If you understand water-cooled infrastructure in building operations, are interested in innovation in the water sector, and understand the feasibility of construction under various designs, you are probably a good fit!
