AWS Infrastructure is building and operating water systems that are industry-leading examples of efficiency, resilience, and sustainable design. As a Senior Construction Manager for Water Infrastructure, you will autonomously lead the delivery of water supply, treatment, and wastewater projects at scale across EMEA - from concept through commissioning and handover to operations.

You will provide oversight across all disciplines - civil, mechanical, process, controls, and environmental - ensuring our water systems meet demanding performance, cost, and schedule targets. You will navigate complex regulatory and permitting landscapes (including EIA, permitting, and local water authority approvals) while driving construction safety and quality standards on site.

At Amazon, we own the full infrastructure stack - from substation to server to cooling tower. That ownership creates unique opportunities to integrate water infrastructure with power and mechanical systems in ways traditional utilities cannot. You will work at that intersection, collaborating with electrical, mechanical, and commissioning teams to deliver some of the most sophisticated utility infrastructure in the world.

We are a diverse, fast-paced team of engineers and managers who solve complex problems daily for our customers. If you thrive on technical challenge and operational ownership, this role is for you.

- Lead negotiations with general contractors and evaluate bids/proposals with detail and accuracy.
- Creation of construction project scope and request for proposals.
- Capital requests/financial analysis of construction work including change orders, purchase orders, and invoicing.
- Construction submittal review.
- Construction project quality assurance including support of the commissioning process.
- Recording and reporting key constru\ction metrics to team members and management.
- Drive teams to perform troubleshooting and root-cause failure analysis associated with equipment or electrical failures.
- Be a leader within the group as well as within internal and external teams that support the data center.
- Travel to data centre sites for engineering evaluations, water systems audits, mechanical system reviews, start-up testing, and full commissioning, as required.

Preferred qualifications
