Chief Engineer, DCEO

Data Center Engineering Operations Team

Amazon is looking for a detail-oriented individual to join our Data Center Engineering Operations Team in Paris. This committed group works to maintain the critical physical infrastructure that supports Amazon Web Services. Specifically, this team works to ensure that the data center's MEP operates at 100% availability while maintaining first-class customer service to the teams and groups within the data centers.

The Data Center Chief Engineer (CE) is responsible for ensuring that all electrical, mechanical, and fire/life safety equipment within the data center is operating at peak efficiency. This involves planned preventative maintenance of equipment, daily corrective work, and emergency response. They are expected to be a singular focal point for all facility operations and to support Amazon within its owned and operated data centers.

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.

Responsibilities include training and supporting the Engineering team in their role of providing hands-on electrical and mechanical equipment troubleshooting and operations. Implementation and execution of site/equipment-specific training exercises includes, but not limited to, stand-by diesel generators, switchgear, UPSs, PDUs, AHUs, chillers etc. The CE will oversee the day-to-day operations and maintenance of mechanical and electrical equipment in data centers, operate independently with limited direct management, assist in the design and build out of new facilities, act as an escalation point for all facilities-related issues within the data center region, and work OT hours as needed to support site stability.

Perform root cause analysis of equipment failures, troubleshoot and report of 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, assist in recruiting efforts, ensure all safety procedures are adhered to by vendor and Amazon staff, and provide metric availability reporting on a weekly basis.
