Amazon Commissioning Coordinator, DCC Communities in Umatilla, Oregon
Description
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an exceptional individual to join the AMER Central Commissioning Team as a Commissioning Coordinator (CxC). The CxC reports directly to the Regional Manager and provides administrative project support, leads strategic initiatives, and drives process improvement for the Commissioning Engineers (CxEs) and Commissioning Managers across the organization. We thrive on operational efficiency and always insist on the highest standards.
In this role, you will be responsible for facilitating program coordination for the AMER Central Commissioning team. You will be involved in the full life cycle of construction/commissioning projects within your assigned region, including activity from the start of the construction project through project execution and close out. You will work with highly-motivated experts from Engineering, Design, Construction, Procurement, Finance, and Legal to complete key deliverables required to build AWS data centers. You will coordinate with AMER CxC’s from other regions to maintain consistency across the program.
The successful candidate will be a strong communicator (both written and verbal), not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities, and have a basic understanding of data center construction, and a drive to learn and be curious. They will be detailed oriented and apply a variety of program coordination tools, methodologies, and techniques that support quick and efficient purchasing across all commissioning project types.

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.
