Job Description
DESCRIPTION
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 support all AWS data centres and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. 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.
The Data Centre Global Engineering Operations organisation is looking for an individual with proven and tested leadership skills to help bring to fruition a newly developed Facilities Operations Centre (FOC). The FOC is responsible for 24X7 monitoring of the data centre’s physical infrastructure and will serve as a facilitator for all Large Scale Events (LSEs) and Critical Site Events (CSEs). This role will also serve as a central monitoring location for the facility electrical and mechanical systems. This team will ensure that the customer experience will be optimal and gratifying by way of consistency, reliability and attention to detail.
The ideal candidate will need to have an understanding of data centre IT infrastructure and data centre facilities infrastructure and how the two entities co-exist or experience as a tradesman or from an
engineering background. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing assistance and support to the onsite team. The position will help ensure overall availability and reliability to meet or exceed defined service levels. Qualified candidates must also have experience functioning in a large-scale data centre and have demonstrated and displayed the ability to think outside of the box. This skill is essential, as the candidate will assist with aligning the FOC with the larger objectives of other business and peer organisations. You will need to play a role with growing the team to a standard of operational excellence.
