At Amazon we believe that Every Day is still Day One! We"re working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright and driven people.

We are looking for a Electrical Engineering Retrofits & Strategy Manager to lead a team of TIPM Electrical Engineers within our Global Electrical Engineering organization. This role owns the strategy, execution, and continuous improvement of complex electrical distribution retrofit programs and electrical construction quality mechanisms across Amazon"s logistic network. The ideal candidate combines deep technical fluency in electrical power systems with demonstrated people management experience, a track record of delivering large-scale infrastructure programs, and the ability to influence cross-functional partners at all levels.

This role requires up to 30% travel and availability to work from a corporate office when not traveling. Candidates should either live near or be willing to relocate within a reasonable commuting distance of the office. Relocation assistance may be provided.

Key job responsibilities

Team Leadership & Development: You will manage, mentor, and grow a team of TIPM Electrical Engineers responsible for delivering electrical infrastructure programs at scale. This includes setting team goals aligned to organizational priorities, developing individual growth plans, and building a high-performance culture grounded in operational excellence and customer obsession.

Electrical Distribution Retrofits: You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of retrofit programs that upgrade low voltage and medium voltage electrical distribution systems at existing facilities across North America. This includes developing design standards, managing third-party engineering and construction partners, overseeing commissioning and acceptance testing, and driving schedule and budget accountability across a portfolio of concurrent projects.

Construction Quality & Compliance Mechanisms:

You will develop and maintain the mechanisms that ensure electrical construction quality across Amazon"s capital project pipeline. This includes peer review frameworks, derogation authority processes, inspection and audit practices, and alignment with NFPA, NEC, and local authority requirements. You will partner with Internal Audit, Risk Management, Safety, Design & Construction, and Real Estate organizations to review internal and external audit findings related to electrical risk, and drive corrective actions to closure.

Program Economics & Stakeholder Communication: You will support annual budgeting cycles and long-range planning, perform program estimates and financial return-on-investment calculations, secure funding through capital authorization processes, and clearly communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. You will monitor trends in electrical system maintenance reports and escalate as necessary to drive improvements or immediate corrective actions.

On-Call & Travel: Travel up to 30% of the time. On-call support 4 to 5 times per year providing 24x7 response to network emergency electrical needs.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. 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.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. 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.
