Amazon Web Services (AWS) In this role you will influence all aspects of fire protection design, construction, operations, and maintenance for our global fleet of data centers. This includes fire suppression, fire detection, fire alarm, and mass notification systems, as well as fire-resistant construction and life safety. You will work with internal and external teams to define, design, detail, and document the various fire protection features that our facilities require, using both prescriptive and performance-based design approaches. As an Owner, you will strive to ensure the fire protection features of our buildings protect our people and keep our customer’s data safe and uninterrupted over the life of the building. You will contribute your expertise to the continual improvement of our fire protection design standards.
Primary responsibilities will include performing and overseeing project-related work, such as water supply analysis and design for fire water service to buildings, coordination with utilities and fire officials to establish basic site infrastructure requirements, coordinating fire protection system space requirements, supporting utilities, and equipment locations, and providing detailed construction specifications for all fire protection-related trades.

You will review all design disciplines to ensure they meet the minimum fire protection requirements described in our design standards. In some cases you will oversee and review this work; in other cases you will perform the work yourself. You will ensure contractors have the information they need to build our data centers and that operations teams are equipped to operate and maintain them.
As the team’s subject matter expert, you will work with internal and external stakeholders, including design, construction, commissioning, operations, vendors, service providers, and local building and fire officials.
