Job description

AWS is looking for a Data Center Civil Engineer to join its East Design team, where you will lead civil engineering designs for Amazon Data Centers. This role involves collaborating with a diverse team of architects, engineers, and designers to innovate and solve complex problems. You will have a significant impact on the design of Data Center sites and will be responsible for providing technical guidance and oversight. The position offers opportunities for professional growth and continuous learning within a unique work environment.

Requirements

  • Professional Engineer License is required.
  • Bachelor's degree or above in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or an equivalent engineering science.
  • 6+ years of commercial, warehouse, and/or industrial site-civil design experience.
  • Experience in carrying design concepts through exploration, development, and into deployment or mass production.
  • Experience in industrial or commercial engineering in mission-critical facilities.

Responsibilities

  • Manage external civil design consultants throughout the Data Center design and construction process.
  • Review designs for site layout, grading, power substations, storm water, and utilities.
  • Coordinate with internal and external architectural, structural, and MEP design engineers.
  • Develop preliminary site layout concepts using Civil 3D, incorporating grading, utilities, and circulation patterns.
  • Effectively communicate design standards to internal and external project partners.
  • Create and maintain project documentation before, during, and after construction.
  • Develop and maintain design standards, design prototypes, and template specifications related to site design.
  • Create, review, and release design RFPs for various projects.
  • Manage multiple fast-paced projects simultaneously and foresee internal Technical Program Manager’s expectations.
  • Lead initiatives aimed at improving cost, quality, schedule, and consistency.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
