About the position
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. 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. 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. Are you an experienced manager with a passion for engineering leading teams in delivering data center designs and looking for a challenge to chart your own course? If so, we are looking for you to help us make history. AWS data centers are the foundation upon which our software and services operates to meet the growing demands of our customers. This role provides you the opportunity to collaborate with business development, design engineers, data center operations professionals, external vendors and consultants, and other cross-functional teams to assess designs and select colocation facilities that meet our business requirements. You will be able to showcase your management skills and understanding of data center design, engineering, and operations of infrastructure common to data centers, Telecommunications facilities and other critical environment infrastructure. You and your team will work directly with internal business teams and with colocation vendors to identify, document, and resolve any operational/design deficiencies which could impact a site's capability or availability. You will have opportunities to influence, build, and improve processes to guide the direction of our colocation data center portfolio on a global scale. So, if you are a strong leader with solid knowledge of data center mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural (MEPS) infrastructure design engineering management experience, Amazon will present a fast paced, fun, and exciting work environment that is unique in every aspect and offers an exceptional rewarding opportunity for you.
