Construction Manager, Data Center Construction
role at
Amazon Web Services (AWS) AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. 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. As a Data Center Construction Manager, you will be a part of a creative, diverse team tasked with solving fascinating problems constructing Amazon Data Centers. Our data centers are industry-leading examples of energy efficient, cost-effective designs. You will work alongside partner teams such as Operations, Networking, Controls, Security, and Commissioning to build Data Centers that directly support our Customers. As our Data Center Construction Manager, you will build some of the most interesting electrical and mechanical systems in the world. You will be on the construction site daily interacting with the construction trades, as Amazon’s owner’s representative and be directly responsible for driving cost, schedule, and quality while managing construction vendors and contractors building data centers. This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen. Key Job Responsibilities: Direct interface with construction general contractors during the bidding, award, execution, and project closeout/punch list phases. Conduct negotiations with general contractors and evaluate bids/proposals with detail and accuracy. Create construction project scope and request for proposals. Financial analysis of construction. Construction project management for specific initiatives aimed at increasing the resiliency of our data centers. Constructability reviews of electrical and mechanical designs associated with the construction of new data centers or optimization of existing data centers. Construction document management including submittal review, RFI’s, change orders, and invoicing. Construction project quality control. Record and report key construction metrics to team members and management. Drive teams to perform troubleshooting and root-cause failure analysis associated with equipment failures. Be a leader within the group as well as within internal and external teams that support the data center. Basic Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Construction Management or an equivalent engineering science OR 6+ years of related construction management experience in lieu of a degree. Experience in construction management of large, complex projects involving large-scale mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) plants. General contractor and vendor management experience (request for proposals, bidding, change orders, quality control, RFI/submittal tracking) associated with construction and project execution. Experience constructing electrical engineering systems including large scale power distribution/generation gear and constructing mechanical engineering systems including cooling systems. Preferred Qualifications: Understand electrical engineering principles including switch gear, UPS, transformers, and circuit breakers and understand mechanical engineering principles for cooling systems. Experience directly related to the design or construction of data centers/critical infrastructure or large scale mechanical and electrical plants. Possess clear written and verbal communication skills and ability to use data to justify conclusions. Value engineering: proven ability to reduce costs through creative solutions with no impact on quality and reliability (new designs, technology, or construction methods). Able to read and interpret construction specifications and drawings for all disciplines and define data center system-level architecture, specify/document performance and equipment requirements, create/communicate conceptual designs, and create/maintain project documentation. Knowledge of building codes and regulations including Life Safety, BOCA, NFPA, NEC, and OSHA. Experience in controls and commissioning of large scale projects and experience with power management and power monitoring systems and certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE), LEED, and/or Certified Construction Manager (CCM).
