Job ID:

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for an 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 planned preventative maintenance of equipment, daily corrective work, and emergency response.

The CE serves as an expert technical resource 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 AWS.

The CE manages small-to-medium 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.


Physical Requirements:
These requirements are expected to be performed with reasonable accommodations

  • Walk job sites in uneven terrain
  • Work at heights and from ladders
  • Regularly lift and/or move up to 49 pounds; and participate in group lifts for 50 pounds or more
  • Coordinate body movements when using tools or equipment

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
