About The Position

Amazon is looking for a detail-oriented individual to join our Data Center
Engineering Operations Team. This committed group works to maintain the critical
physical infrastructure that supports Amazon Web Services. Specifically, this
team works to ensure that the data center's MEP operates at 100% availability
while maintaining first-class customer service to the teams and groups within
the data centers.

The Data Center Chief Engineer (CE) is responsible for ensuring that all
electrical, mechanical, and fire/life safety equipment within the data center is
operating at peak efficiency. This involves both planned preventative
maintenance of equipment, daily corrective work, and emergency response to
emergent issues. The CE serves as an expert technical resource reporting to a
site’s Data Center Facility Manager and interacting with onsite Engineering
Operations Technicians (EOT) and any third party vendors. They are expected to
be a singular focal point for all facility operations within a given data center
and to support Amazon within its owned and operated data centers. Data center
equipment that supports mission-critical servers must maintain better than
99.999% uptime.

Also expected from the CE is the ability to manage small-to-medium impacting
projects from conception to completion. These projects involve large amounts of
independent work as well as collaboration with external support groups including
engineering, automation, processing, and finance in both local and global
settings. The CE will be tasked with creating and delivering on key milestones,
obtaining and tracking quotes for all necessary costs, and documenting project
results for future implementation at other facilities. The goals of such
projects are for the CE to drive innovation and resiliency while reducing
operational costs in the facilities.

The CE directs, trains and supports EOT’s in their role of providing hands-on
electrical and mechanical equipment troubleshooting and operations.
Implementation and execution of site/equipment-specific training exercises is
also expected. This equipment includes, but is not limited to, stand-by diesel
generators, switchgear, UPS’s, PDU’s, AHU’s, chillers, cooling towers, chemical
treatment systems, pumps, motors, VFD’s, and building automation systems.

This technical leadership position brings a 24/7 presence to support the
engineering operations technicians on site and to be available to respond to
site specific needs
