Technical Infrastructure Program Manager - Fiber Deployment, Global Connectivity Infrastructure Development

AI in this role

Amazon provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world.

The Amazon Cloud infrastructure is built around Regions and Availability Zones. Our Regions provide multiple, physically separated and isolated Availability Zones which are connected with low latency, high throughput, and highly redundant networking.

These Availability Zones offer AWS customers an easier and more effective way to design and operate applications and databases, making them more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single data centre infrastructures or multi-data centre infrastructures.

How would you like to come be part of the team that builds Fiber to the Cloud?

We are looking for a highly motivated Technical Infrastructure Program Manager (TIPM) with a strong civil construction background to help develop and scale one of the world's largest and most complex fiber networks. Based in Dublin and working across multiple EMEA Regions, you will own the end-to-end delivery of outside plant (OSP) fiber civil works, including trenching and excavation, duct and conduit installation, directional drilling (HDD), chambers and handholes, and surface reinstatement, managing the civil contractors who build them to schedule, cost, and quality.

In this role you will be responsible for managing some of the most technical, cost-efficient, and fast-paced communication construction schedules achievable, with particular focus on the civil engineering and groundworks that underpin metro and long-haul fiber deployment. You will plan and supervise excavation works around live buried services, drive the permitting and wayleave process with authorities having jurisdiction, and hold contractors to Amazon's construction, safety, and environmental standards on the ground. You will be expected to review method statements and risk assessments (RAMS), enforce safe-dig practices near existing utilities, and make the call on where hand excavation, GPR survey, and utility protection are required before work proceeds.

As a Fiber Deployment TIPM you will be part of a highly capable, efficient team tasked with tackling the most fascinating and complex problems in fiber construction. You will bring deep, hands-on expertise in civil construction management, including reading engineering drawings and BOMs, understanding ground conditions and restoration requirements, and coordinating civil, splicing, and commissioning workstreams across diverse EMEA jurisdictions. The TIPM is ultimately responsible for end-to-end network delivery and contractor management, and will act as a leader in their discipline while helping build some of the most complex fiber optic networks in the world.

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.
