Senior Construction Manager, SCFM

Description

Do you want to shape the future of mission critical infrastructure at Amazon? We are growing our portfolio of large-scale construction projects and looking for a motivated, analytical program manager to lead the delivery of complex facility builds. In this role, you will manage the full lifecycle of infrastructure construction programs, from preconstruction planning through project handoff, ensuring safety, cost, quality, and schedule targets are met. You will bring expertise in electrical or mechanical infrastructure systems and apply it across industrial and commercial construction environments. With multiple new projects launching as we expand our regional footprint, this is a compelling time to join a team where your work directly enables Amazon's continued growth.

Key job responsibilities
- Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of complex infrastructure construction programs, defining scope, setting milestones, tracking progress, and driving delivery across cross-functional teams including design engineering, procurement, and operations.
- Lead constructability and phasing reviews for civil, architectural, structural, electrical, and mechanical scopes, identifying risks early and implementing solutions that protect cost and schedule targets.
- Negotiate with general contractors and third-party vendors, evaluating bids, proposals, and subcontractor pricing for completeness and accuracy, and managing vendor performance throughout preconstruction and build phases.
- Drive continuous improvement by collecting lessons learned, developing standardized processes, and scaling effective practices across projects and regions to improve safety, cost, quality, and delivery outcomes.
- Communicate program status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, aligning priorities and building consensus across engineering, finance, real estate, legal, and security teams.

A day in the life
You will start your day reviewing project dashboards and coordinating with general contractors and engineering partners to keep builds on track. Much of your time will be split between site walk-throughs, vendor negotiations, and cross-functional planning sessions with design, procurement, and commissioning teams. You will also dedicate time to analyzing data, updating program documentation, and identifying process improvements that can be applied across future projects.

About the team
Our Supply Chain Facilities Management team drives a global strategy for the standardization of space planning, design, construction, maintenance, and security across Amazon's portfolio of supply chain facilities. We manage a network of integrated facilities management partners and construction resources worldwide.

We are investing in new processes and tools to increase efficiency and quality across every build.
