About The Position

Amazon is looking for a Construction Project Manager (CPM) who will be responsible for the design and construction of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Amazon facilities in the US. This Construction Project Manager will handle both the design management and construction execution of EV charging infrastructure, including power distribution systems and charging stations. This involves overseeing the design and construction process from project inception through handover, ensuring compliance with Amazon's standards, local codes, and project-specific requirements. The projects focus on EV charger installations, electrical distribution, and service upgrades. Construction Project Managers perform detailed deep dive reviews of designs, budgets, and schedules to identify and resolve discrepancies, including information in consultant and contractor bid packages. They also manage design and construction related change orders and value engineering processes to optimize project outcomes and identify cost savings opportunities. Construction Project Managers partner with internal customers and external stakeholders (including utility companies, contractors, charging equipment manufacturers, and design consultants) to build trusted partnerships and deliver results. The Construction Project Manager serves as Amazon's representative and direct point of interface with Developers, Contractors, Utilities, Electrical Contractors, Equipment Vendors, and Design Consultants, as well as the primary integrator between design and construction teams and other Amazon stakeholders responsible for implementing, furnishing, and operating our EV charging network. This opportunity combines design management, construction engineering, planning, project management, facilities management, and contract management. A day in the life Your morning may start with reviewing schedules and RFIs for EV charger projects. You're walking sites, documenting progress, and solving real-time problems—a conduit routing conflict or equipment delivery delay. Afternoon may bring contract negotiations or payment application reviews. You're constantly juggling: answering questions, clarifying design intent, leading OAC meetings, and keeping stakeholders informed. Some days are back-to-back meetings coordinating across teams. Other days you're heads-down troubleshooting why a charger won't commission. The role is remote, but you'll travel frequently—walking construction sites and being eyes on the ground. It's fast-paced, technical, and never boring. About the team The EV Charging Solutions team's mission is to better serve our customers through deploying the world's most expansive charging network for all business units across the United States. As a group of Construction Project Managers, day to day, we are self-starters—managing projects independently while staying connected to each other through weekly calls with your regional and national teams. Your work will directly impact Amazon's electrification goals—every charger you deliver enables electric delivery vehicles to operate while reducing our carbon footprint. The team values transparency, technical excellence, and scrappy problem-solving as we scale nationwide.
