Elevate Data Center Design and Innovation with Your Engineering Expertise

We"re seeking a Civil Engineer who will transform data center infrastructure through strategic design and robust solutions. In this role, you"ll collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to develop resilient, sustainable, and innovative engineering designs that push the boundaries of technological infrastructure.

The Civil Engineer in FRE-CSA provides the global vision, rationale and recommendations to leadership teams for next-generation data center Civil design and remediation on new and existing sites, while ensuring current Civil systems meet performance and operational standards.

As a Civil Engineer in FRE-CSA, you will lead Civil Engineering initiatives with strategic vision while demonstrating competence in Structural Engineering project execution. You will be working within and leading the work of cross-functional teams that include: technical program management, product management, structural engineering, architectural, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, supply chain management, operations, safety and security, and legal. You will participate in external forums/consortiums to understand current trends and developments within the industry.

You will be responsible for leading the Civil design, strategy, product innovation and development, and audit/remediations of existing sites. This role will communicate the technical decisions we make to Senior Engineers and will drive continuous improvements with our designs.

AIS

AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) 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.

Key job responsibilities

As a Civil Engineer, you will provide full life-cycle support to AWS Data Centers from design inception through site improvement and maintenance.

You will be the 'go to' engineering resource for your region when technical advice is needed, and will use your subject matter expertise in Civil Engineering to:

  • Work with a team of multi-disciplinary professionals on a wide variety of conceptual design, build, and retrofit projects at existing data center.
  • Create, review and release data center Civil improvements and designs.
  • Drive refinements to the Basis of Design, product development, sustainability, and template specifications for Civil systems to support continuous improvement of future data center designs.
  • Serve as a technical advisor for projects including; review of underground services, water infrastructure designs and compliance, drainage solutions, foundations and retaining structures, roads and structural systems.
  • Create, review and release Civil design RFPs.
  • Manage external Civil design consultants through the audit, design and implementation of a variety of projects while coordinating with internal engineering, construction and other stakeholder teams.
  • Lead initiatives aimed at improving quality, schedule, consistency or reducing costs to in-flight and future data center construction and improvement projects.
  • Work on multiple data center build and capital improvement projects simultaneously without compromising safety and availability constraints.
  • Visit project locations in the AMER region and provide subject matter guidance to partnering teams.
  • Positively influence external vendors/consultants designs/deliverables to meet requirements and timelines.

A day in the life

Amazon has a global presence; therefore 15 to 25% travel will be necessary. Regional support will be part of the job, and some travel will be necessary with short notice. Support could consist of auditing/inspecting data centers, working on international teams and could require developing schematic and design document packages for both global future and existing sites. In this role you will need the ability and willingness to travel for site walks and field observations internationally/domestically with short notice.

Your day will be dynamic and impactful, involving collaborative design sessions, technical problem-solving, and strategic planning. You"ll engage with cross-functional teams, review complex engineering challenges, and develop comprehensive solutions that enhance data center performance and sustainability.

About the team

Our Fleet Remediation Engineering team is dedicated to creating world-class data center infrastructure. We value innovative thinking, collaborative problem-solving, and a commitment to excellence. You"ll work alongside passionate engineers who are transforming how technology interfaces with physical infrastructure.

Amazon.com Inc

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
