Senior Structural Engineer, Fleet Remediation Engineering - Civil, Structural, Architectural

Description

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. 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 engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

As a Sr. Structural Engineer in FRE-CSA, you are a leader in your field, working within and leading the work of cross‑functional teams that include technical program management, product management, architecture, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, supply chain management, operations, safety and security, and legal. You will be responsible for leading the structural design, strategy, product innovation and development, and audit/remediation of existing sites.

This role will communicate the technical decisions we make to leadership and will drive continuous improvements with our designs.

As a Sr. Structural Engineer, you will provide full life‑cycle support to AWS Data Centers from design inception through site improvement and maintenance. You will be the “go‑to” engineering resource for your region when technical advice is needed, and will use your subject‑matter expertise in Structural Engineering to:

• Work with a team of multi‑disciplinary professionals on a wide variety of conceptual design, build, and retrofit projects at new and existing data centers.
• Create, review and release data center structural improvements and designs.
• Drive refinements to the Basis of Design, product development, sustainability, and template specifications for structural systems to support continuous improvement of future data center designs.
• Serve as a technical advisor for projects including review of foundation and structural systems.
• Create, review and release structural design RFPs.
• Manage external structural design consultants through the audit, design and implementation of a variety of projects while coordinating with internal engineering, construction and other stakeholder teams.
• Lead initiatives aimed at improving quality, schedule, consistency or reducing costs to in‑flight and future data center construction and improvement projects.
• Work on multiple data center build and capital improvement projects simultaneously without compromising safety and availability constraints.

Amazon has a global presence; therefore 30% to 40% travel will be necessary. Support could consist of auditing/inspecting data centers, working on international teams and could require developing schematic and design document packages for existing sites. In this role you will need the ability and willingness to travel for site walks and field observations internationally/domestically with short notice.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating – that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

We value work‑life harmony. Achieving success at work…
