DESCRIPTION

Sr. Constructability Engineer in Data Center Engineering - Civil, Structural, Architectural Solutions (DCE-CSAS) team has the ability to understand the customer demand as well as the technology & business opportunities that exist in order to lead the organization forward; providing construction cost, schedule, and constructability guidance. You understand key problems, and propose and analyze multiple solutions to produce the most efficient, cost effective, resilient and scalable achievable data center with best constructability, not only for Civil, Structural, Architectural disciplines but also for Mechanical, Electrical, Control, and whole Data Center Engineering disciplines.

Sr. Constructability Engineer in DCE-CSAS provides the global vision, rationale and recommendations to leadership teams for next-generation data center constructability standards in data center design and remediation, while ensuring current systems meet performance, construction schedule and operational standards.

As a Sr. Constructability Engineer in DCE-CSAS, you are a leader and visionary in your field, working within and leading the work of cross-functional teams that include: technical program management, product management, architect, structural, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering, supply chain management, construction, 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 global constructability strategy, constructability of new data center template and product innovation/development, and remediations of existing sites. This role will communicate the technical decisions we make to Senior Management and will drive continuous improvements with our constructability.

Key job responsibilities

Amazon's vision is to be the world's most customer-centric company, and this role is key to that vision. As a Sr. Constructability Engineer, you will be leading projects to ever-evolving customer needs for the new and existing AWS data center fleet as we continue hyper-scale expansion. As an ideal candidate:

• You understand the key aspects of legacy and modern data center construction systems. Using this experience, you identify improvement areas in existing and next-generation data center constructability.
• You are responsible for and oversee the creation and improvement of data center basis of design & project specifications to drive standardization in the data center constructability performance.
• You conceive, initiate and lead projects with widespread impact on infrastructure construction, innovation and implementation.
• You are responsible for, conduct, and provide oversight for the review of the constructability of next generation data center designs and financial analysis, and schedule/sequence of construction.
• You conduct constructability reviews of civil, structural, architectural, electrical and mechanical designs associated with the construction of new data centers or optimization/retrofit of existing data centers.
• You review bid summaries, schedules and milestones, labor pricing, and perform subcontractor evaluations.
• You decompose complex constructability problems or new construction technologies or topologies to distill underlying risks and benefits, and identify straightforward and actionable solutions to reduce risk.
• You actively facilitate the escalation of low-level project issues to senior engineering and business leadership.

A day in the life

Amazon has a global presence; therefore 20% to 40% travel will be necessary. International support will be part of the job, and some international travel will be necessary with short notice. Support could consist of visiting data centers, working on international teams and could require developing schematic and design document packages with best constructability for both global future and existing sites. An understanding of international construction practices is preferable.
