Senior Construction Manager, SCFM

About the role

Do you want to shape the future of mission critical infrastructure at Amazon? We are growing our portfolio of large-scale construction projects and looking for a motivated, analytical program manager to lead the delivery of complex facility builds.

In this role, you will manage the full lifecycle of infrastructure construction programs, from preconstruction planning through project handoff, ensuring safety, cost, quality, and schedule targets are met. You will bring expertise in electrical or mechanical infrastructure systems and apply it across industrial and commercial construction environments.

With multiple new projects launching as we expand our regional footprint, this is a compelling time to join a team where your work directly enables Amazon's continued growth.

Key job responsibilities

• Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of complex infrastructure construction programs, defining scope, setting milestones, tracking progress, and driving delivery across cross-functional teams including design engineering, procurement, and operations.
• Lead constructability and phasing reviews for civil, architectural, structural, electrical, and mechanical scopes, identifying risks early and implementing solutions that protect cost and schedule targets.
• Negotiate with general contractors and third-party vendors, evaluating bids, proposals, and subcontractor pricing for completeness and accuracy, and managing vendor performance throughout preconstruction and build phases.
• Drive continuous improvement by collecting lessons learned, developing standardized processes, and scaling effective practices across projects and regions to improve safety, cost, quality, and delivery outcomes.
• Communicate program status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, aligning priorities and building consensus across engineering, finance, real estate, legal, and security teams.

A day in the life

• You will start your day reviewing project dashboards and coordinating with general contractors and engineering partners to keep builds on track.
• Much of your time will be split between site walk-throughs, vendor negotiations, and cross-functional planning sessions with design, procurement, and commissioning teams.
• You will also dedicate time to analyzing data, updating program documentation, and identifying process improvements that can be applied across future projects.

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of construction or project management, or 5+ years of relevant discipline work experience
• 4+ years of general contractor and vendor management work (request for proposals, bidding, change orders, quality control, RFI/submittal tracking) associated with construction and project execution experience
• 5+ years of construction management of large, complex projects involving large-scale mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) plants experience
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or 4+ years of construction or project management experience
• Travel up to 10-25% of the time
• Experience managing the full construction lifecycle, from preconstruction and design reviews through commissioning and handoff

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in project management in data centers or comparable critical infrastructure
• Knowledge of engineering documentation, electrical diagrams and standard operating procedures
• Knowledge of building codes and regulations including Life Safety, BOCA, NFPA, NEC, or OSHA
