About The Position

As a Regional Environmental Engineer, you will lead the environmental regulatory
compliance function of your assigned area. You will be responsible for advancing
environmental performance culture and improving the regulatory adherence of our
data centers, by protecting the environment through environmental incident
prevention, investigation, and mitigation. Each day you will work with our data
center community, the people who make the cloud go. They are working with
sources of air emissions, such as emergency backup generators, large scale water
and wastewater systems, and handling waste from critical IT equipment. You will
work closely with experts in security, construction, operations, logistics,
compliance, corporate counsel, and human resources to further the global
environmental compliance program. You will use data to evaluate trends related
to leading and lagging indicators to help your customer focus on environmental
regulatory compliance, our organization's number one tenet. You will partner
with employees as well as contractors to achieve environmental compliance goals
and improve our already strong compliance culture. As AWS increases data
capacity, you will partner with construction managers to ensure environmental
risks are identified and mitigated prior to live operations. You will work in a
fast-paced environment where our operations are rapidly changing, advocating
compliant changes in the face of new infrastructure, new tools, and new
products/processes.
