Senior Constructability Engineer, Data Center Design Engineering

Amazon • Seattle, WA • 55min ago

Description

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.

Our goal is to find the candidate that has well developed data centre technical knowledge coupled with practical construction and commissioning experience to help drive standards in this essential part of our delivery process. If you have experience working within a broad design and construction infrastructure environment, then you could be the right candidate.

Key job responsibilities

Embed with regional Construction, Field Engineering, and project teams to resolve constructability issues during active builds

Bring field and trade-level judgment to the design-to-construction handoff; identify buildability and installation risk before and during execution

Diagnose and resolve complex on-site electrical, mechanical, structural, and civil issues - separating root cause from symptom

Coordinate across trades and partners (GC, EC, commissioning) to resolve issues in the owning team's interest

Feed field-proven lessons back to design and standards owners so fixes propagate beyond the single site

Serve as the hands-on resource project teams pull in for high-consequence delivery issues

Approx 25% travel within AMER

A day in the life

As a Senior Constructability Engineer you are forward-deployed into constructability problems rather than reviewing them from a distance. You embed alongside the teams that own the work - bringing domain judgment, resolving the issue jointly, and handing the solution back to the owning team. You are not a review gate and you do not accumulate ownership; you go where the business consequence is highest.

You are on site and in trailers, walking installations, in OAC and coordination meetings, troubleshooting live delivery issues alongside the crews and construction managers. Problems reach you from your own team and from partner teams, and you actively seek out buildability risks before they surface in the field. Resolution draws on a genuine understanding of how things get built, so the solution is robust, installable, and in the best interest of the AWS business.

About the team

GCE's focus is to make the design-solvable parts of the construction schedule safer, faster, and more predictable. We partner with our construction teams and integrators to surface the constructability issues that impact the critical path across the entire project execution lifecycle. We reduce the time it takes for GCs to adopt new products, methods, and design templates. We aggregate schedule, cost, and trade-partner feedback to drive BOD improvements.

Basic Qualifications

6+ years of industrial or commercial engineering in mission critical facilities including but not limited to: data centers, power generation or oil and gas facilities experience

Knowledge of critical data center mechanical and electrical equipment

Experience in data center design, construction, operations, or facility maintenance

Experience researching new designs, technologies, and construction methods of data center equipment and facilities

Preferred Qualifications

Professional Engineering or Architectural License

Knowledge of building codes and regulations for your region

Experience carrying design concepts through exploration, development, and into deployment or mass production

Experience reading, interpreting, and creating construction drawings, specifications, and submittal documents
