We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Do you enjoy taking an idea and turning it into something? Do you ever find yourself marveling at buildings, infrastructure, or landmarks and ask "what does it take to build something like that?"

Internally, you will partner with DCPD teams such as Real Estate, Due Diligence, Permitting, Energy, Water, Pre-Construction, Construction, Commissioning, Security and Procurement Teams to achieve health and safety goals and improve our safety culture. Externally, you will engage with General Contractors and AWS Suppliers to confirm/clarify the business expectations for H&S, and look for ways to continually improve H&S of our contracted services. You will work under the direction of the AMER Regional Health & Safety Manager.

You will ensure construction activities meet jurisdictional requirements and AWS Safety Management Program (SMP) standards through systematic compliance and assurance activities.

• Identifies improvement opportunities at project(s), and partners with Data Center Health and Safety (DCHS) Operational Team on regional issues that impact construction/operations handover phases.
• Audits projects to the mental model ‘do you have a process, and are you following it?’ Then analyzes data (leading and lagging indicators) for trends, risks/opportunities and reports out at project/regional levels and within governance programs
• Conduct regular site visits with H&S Consultants, construction managers and Data Center Health and Safety Operational teams
• Hosts project and regional specific contractor and internal team H&S kickoff sessions and annual performance review sessions.

You will apply your knowledge of the jurisdictional requirements, regional best practices, cultural norms, and location specific characteristics to improve DCPD activities in H&S by jumping in and showing the business “this is what the data is telling us, and this is what actions we should take” and develop DCPD competencies to enable them ownership of your solutions.
