Construction Manager

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.

Amazon's Data Center Construction Manager (CM) delivers hyperscale data center projects from feasibility through commissioning handover — owning scope, schedule, and budget across new builds and capital upgrades in the Greater Seoul region. Amazon designs and procures its most advanced infrastructure in-house and builds data centers purpose-built for our own servers. As part of a dedicated, self-perform construction team, you will operate in a global environment with end-to-end ownership of the entire critical infrastructure chain: HV substations, fiber, generators, switchgear, UPS, chillers, cooling towers, AHUs, and servers. This end-to-end ownership demands a CM who can synthesize complex MEP systems and the control systems that integrate them, hold general contractors (GCs) accountable to quality standards, and compress timelines without sacrificing safety or resilience. Once construction is complete, the CM transitions the facility to the commissioning team and supports integrated testing through to handover. You will work within a high-velocity, multi-disciplinary team — acting as both an individual project owner and a technical authority in your discipline.
