Senior Structural Engineer leading design and engineering activities for Amazon fulfillment facilities across EMEA, LATAM, and MEATR.
Key job responsibilities
Europe (EMEA) is the primary region of ownership; the Sr TIPM additionally acts as a consulting SME to the LATAM and MEATR regions for design specifications and standards.

A day in the life
Your morning begins with a cross-functional stand-up alongside architects, mechanical engineers, and construction managers, aligning on a new fulfillment center design. You dive into structural modeling — optimizing steel frames, analyzing seismic and equipment loads, and future-proofing for robotics. Midday brings peer design reviews where you challenge assumptions and drive cost-efficient solutions. Afternoons involve coordinating with fabricators, resolving site queries with bias for action, and developing standardized design templates that accelerate delivery across the network. You mentor junior engineers, collaborate globally, and own your designs from concept through construction. Here, you don't just design structures — you build the infrastructure powering customer delivery at unprecedented scale.
About the team
Your morning begins with a cross-functional stand-up alongside architects, MEPFS engineers, and construction managers, aligning on a new fulfillment center and other operational Building design. You dive into structural modeling — optimizing steel frames, analyzing seismic, wind, snow, and equipment loads, and futureproofing for robotics, solar installations, and other structurally-supported loads. Midday brings peer design reviews where you challenge assumptions and drive cost-efficient solutions. Afternoons involve translating field feedback and lessons learned into updates to our structural design standards and templates — owning the engineering criteria rather than site-level coordination, which remains with the Precon and Construction teams. You mentor junior engineers, collaborate globally, and own structural designs from concept through to regional template packages and standards — handing over to construction teams for site-specific adaptation. Here, you don't just design structures — you build the standard and criteria for infrastructure, powering customer delivery at unprecedented scale.
