    Description

    The Global Energy, Sustainability, and Automation team is seeking an experienced and highly organized Project Manager to lead the deployment of infrastructure technologies across Amazon"s fulfillment and logistics network.

    The Tech Deployment team serves as a scalable execution function for infrastructure and technology programs across Amazon"s operational facilities. The team partners with engineering, operations, construction, technology teams, vendors, and other stakeholders to deploy solutions spanning electrical infrastructure, HVAC and building systems, controls and automation, metering, sensing and location technologies, and other emerging infrastructure technologies.

    In this role, you will manage multiple concurrent deployment programs from planning through field execution, validation, and operational handoff. You will translate technical requirements into executable deployment plans, coordinate vendors and internal stakeholders, manage schedule and execution risks, and establish repeatable processes that enable technologies to scale across a large and geographically distributed portfolio.

    The successful candidate will have experience delivering complex technical or infrastructure projects and operating effectively in environments with multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and evolving technical requirements. Experience with electrical systems, HVAC, controls and automation, material handling equipment, sensing technologies, or other building and operational infrastructure is preferred.

    This role requires a self-starter who can independently manage multiple projects, identify and resolve execution barriers, and influence stakeholders across organizational boundaries. The candidate must also demonstrate the ability to quickly understand unfamiliar technologies and technical requirements sufficiently to lead their successful deployment.

    This is a travel-based role. Travel across North America of up to 50% or more may be required depending on project needs.

    • Develop deployment strategies, project plans, schedules, milestones, and execution mechanisms that enable repeatable deployment across multiple sites.
    • Translate engineering and technical requirements into executable field deployment plans in partnership with engineering teams, vendors, contractors, and site stakeholders.
    • Coordinate internal and external stakeholders to ensure projects are executed safely, on schedule, and in accordance with technical requirements.
    • Manage vendors and contractors, including performance, quality, schedule adherence, execution risks, and corrective actions.
    • Manage escalations, installation deviations, field constraints, and rework, driving issues through resolution with appropriate technical and business stakeholders.
    • Analyze deployment and audit data, including vendor KPIs, installation quality, schedule performance, and other execution metrics, to identify systemic issues and opportunities for improvement.
    • Develop working knowledge of technical systems and facilitate root-cause analysis and issue resolution when deployment challenges arise.
    • Work across hardware, software, controls, networking, and physical infrastructure interfaces where required to support successful technology integration.
    • Develop mechanisms, standard work, documentation, and best practices that improve deployment consistency, quality, and scalability.
    • Provide clear program updates, risk assessments, escalation paths, and recommendations to senior leadership and execution teams.
    • Use data and metrics to evaluate deployment performance and identify opportunities to improve processes, resources, vendor performance, and execution models.
    • Build effective partnerships across engineering, operations, construction, procurement, technology teams, and other global stakeholders to support long-term scalability of deployment programs.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
