About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Water Infrastructure Engineer to join our AWS Water Team. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for planning and implementing water and wastewater infrastructure projects that support water delivery to our data centers.

You will work closely with internal teams, including construction, operations, engineering, environmental, and project commissioning teams, to ensure projects meet regulatory standards and a high bar for operational efficiency, reliability, and safety.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Planning and implementing water and wastewater infrastructure projects
  • Engineering, implementing, and monitoring water treatment/operations projects
  • Working with internal teams to troubleshoot problems and conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Corrective Action (CA) for design and fleet deployed water systems
  • Working with local water utilities to understand and coordinate site utility requirements, requirements for infrastructure development, site inspections, and compliance with federal, state, and municipal requirements and building codes
  • Tracking and managing reliability and maintenance of water systems, as well as the resiliency of sources of water supply required for data center cooling
  • Delivering projects that directly support water sustainability goals
  • Overseeing support, and testing/validation of systems during installation, operation, and maintenance of water treatment equipment and associated mechanical systems
  • Interface with internal engineering, operations, real estate, and environmental health and safety teams to develop and implement solutions in rural areas that often lack adequate available water and wastewater infrastructure
  • Overseeing maintenance and compliance of on-site water treatment and disinfection systems

This is a unique opportunity to join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You will 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.

We value work-life harmony and strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empowers us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace and are an equal opportunity employer. If you understand water-cooled infrastructure in building operations, are interested in innovation in the water sector, and understand the feasibility of construction under various designs, you are a probably a good fit.
