Job ID: 3117154 | Amazon Data Services, Inc. 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. Amazon is looking for an energetic, detail‑oriented individual to join our northern South Bend Data Center Engineering Operations Team. This committed group works to maintain the critical physical infrastructure that supports Amazon Web Services.

The Night Shift Data Center Chief Engineer (CE) is responsible for ensuring that all electrical, mechanical, and fire/life safety equipment within the data centre is operating at peak efficiency. This involves both planned preventative maintenance of equipment, daily corrective work, and emergency response to emergent issues. The CE serves as an expert technical resource reporting to a site’s Data Center Facility Manager and interacting with onsite Engineering Operations Technicians (EOT) and any third‑party vendors. They are expected to be a singular focal point for all facility operations within a given data centre and to support Amazon within its owned and operated data centres. Data centre equipment that supports mission‑critical servers must maintain better than 99.999 % uptime. Also expected from the CE is the ability to manage small‑to‑medium large impact projects from conception to completion. These projects can involve large amounts of independent work as well as collaboration with external support groups including engineering, automation, processing, and finance in both local and global settings. The CE 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 CE to drive innovation and resiliency while reducing operational costs in the facilities. The CE directs, trains and supports EOT’s in their role of providing hands‑on electrical and mechanical equipment troubleshooting and operations. Implementation and execution of site/equipment‑specific training exercises is also expected. This equipment includes, but is not limited to, stand‑by diesel generators, switchgear, UPS’s, PDU’s, AHU’s, DAHU's, chillers, cooling towers, chemical treatment systems, pumps, motors, VFD’s, and building automation systems. Key job responsibilities Oversee the day‑to‑day operations and maintenance of mechanical and electrical equipment in a data centre. Operate independently with limited direct management. Act as an escalation point for all facilities‑related issues within the data centre, escalating to the Data Center Facility Manager as needed. Perform root cause analysis of equipment failures. Troubleshoot and report facility and data sever‑level events within internal SLA. Create and deploy new standard practices for Engineering Operations Technicians, Chief Engineers, and vendor support teams. Provide training and guidance to Engineering Operations Technicians.
