This position is responsible for overseeing and executing quality assurance and control (QAQC) processes throughout the lifecycle of data center construction projects, ensuring that all work meets AWS's high standards for quality, safety, and performance.

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 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.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead the implementation of QAQC processes throughout data center construction projects, from pre-design to turnover phases and beyond.
• Review design documents and provide feedback on constructability, maintainability, and quality assurance measures.
• Develop and maintain quality control plans, factory/field inspection checklists, and relevant documentation.
• Conduct onsite QAQC inspections for installation activities, ensuring compliance with AWS standards and specifications.
• Coordinate with third-party Quality Control Agents/Vendors (QCA) to ensure comprehensive QAQC.
• Facilitate regular QC meetings with stakeholders to review and address quality-related issues.

• Identify, document, and track quality defects or non-conformances, ensuring timely resolution.
• Compile and deliver comprehensive quality control turnover packages for each project phase.
• Conduct final quality reviews and walkthroughs with key stakeholders prior to project handover.
• Facilitate knowledge transfer to end customers on QAQC processes and lessons learned.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by analyzing quality data and proposing process enhancements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Construction Management, Commissioning, and Data Center Engineering Operations to ensure seamless project execution.
• Stay current with industry best practices and AWS-specific quality standards, incorporating them into quality control processes.
• Willingness to travel up to 75% of the time to various OSA and project sites across North and South America
