About the team

The Facilities Operations Team works to balance two priorities.

We coordinate 24/7 emergency response. We also ensure our facilities maintain regulatory compliance related to our building systems, hazardous materials, energy usage, permits and permits/licensing related to these systems. Second, we need to deliver this level of service while minimizing cost and maintaining compliance. These priorities form the foundation of our mission.

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
