Water Projects Manager, AWS Water Team

Saved job description

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. 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.

Do you have the passion to work in the AWS Water industry with a focus on water stewardship and sustainability efforts? Do you have the industry background, technical depth, and business development skills needed to help further establish AWS as the leader in the water industry?

Amazon is seeking a self-starter to join the AWS Water team in pioneering the future for data center water supply in how AWS delivers water projects and partners with water utilities/companies across the United States.

In this role, you will support the delivery of large-scale, technically complex water infrastructure projects across multiple geographies in the central and southern US regions, collaborating closely with both internal and external stakeholders. Internally, you will contribute to project management, engineering, and reporting (status, risks, mitigations, and successes) to the project team and leadership, while coordinating with multiple cross-functional partner teams across the data center water delivery process. Externally, you will help maintain utility relationships and support contracting with utilities and/or the Owner's Engineer. You will be part of an integrated team delivering a fast-scaling portfolio of water infrastructure projects that meets and exceeds AWS' water program requirements — helping deliver projects on time, with tangible reliability and cost-saving results.

The ideal candidate will have a technology background with demonstrated experience delivering infrastructure, working with utilities and earning customer trust.
