You should be able to manage large scale impacting projects and new region support from conception to completion. These projects involve large amounts of independent work as well as collaboration with external support groups including engineering, automation, procurement, and finance in both local and global settings. As Chief Engineer, you will be tasked with creating and delivering on key milestones, obtaining and tracking quotes for all necessary costs, and documenting project results for future implementation at other facilities. The goals of such projects are for the Chief Engineers to drive innovation and resiliency while reducing operational costs in the facilities.
Key job responsibilities:
Train and support the Engineering team in their role of providing electrical and mechanical equipment troubleshooting and operations.
Implement and execute site or equipment-specific training exercises. Exercises cover, but are not limited to: stand-by diesel generators, switchgear, UPSs, PDUs, AHUs, chillers etc.
Oversee day-to-day operation and maintenance of mechanical and electrical equipment in data center sites.
Operate independently, with limited direct management.
Assist in the design and build-out of new facilities and perform root cause analysis of equipment failures.
Act as an escalation point for all facilities-related issues within the data center region. Work OT hours as needed to support site stability.
Troubleshoot and report facility and data sever-level events within internal Service Level Agreements (SLA).
Create and deploy standard practices for Engineering Operations Technicians, Chief Engineers, and vendor support teams.
Ensure all safety procedures are adhered to by vendors, and AWS staff.
