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 software, hardware, and network 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. Our goal is to find the candidate that has well developed data center technical knowledge coupled with practical construction and commissioning experience to help drive standards in this essential part of our delivery process. If you have experience working within a broad design and construction infrastructure environment, then you could be the right candidate.
Key job responsibilities
- Work closely with the Global Constructability team, Design Engineering and Construction Management teams to ensure consistency of approach
- Drive practical constructability standards in design documentation
- Drive commissionability improvements in our designs.
- Drive process improvements in the hand off from design to construction/commissioning
- Optimise the engineering input post design completion - driving consistent roles and responsibilities and accountability.
- Work closely with regional engineering teams to drive consistency
- Act as the initial point of escalation for complex constructability issues.
- 25% regional travel, sometimes unplanned.
A day in the life
As a Constructability Engineer you will be involved in the entire process of a project, from site selection all the way through into operations. You will act as a conduit between Design Engineering and all other teams, providing a pragmatic and practical engineering-based support to both DE and associated teams. Delivery issues will be both presented to you by our own team and other associated teams, but you will also actively seek to recognize problems and develop solutions. Resolution of these issues will require a thorough understanding of the process of design and construction to enable a robust and manageable solution to be developed, always considering the best interests of the AWS business.
