Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an exceptional individual to join the AMER Central Commissioning Team as a Commissioning Coordinator (CxC).

The CxC reports directly to the Regional Manager and provides administrative project support, leads strategic initiatives, and drives process improvement for the Commissioning Engineers (CxEs) and Commissioning Managers across the organization.

We thrive on operational efficiency and always insist on the highest standards.

In this role, you will be responsible for facilitating program coordination for the AMER Central Commissioning team.

You will coordinate with AMER CxC’s from other regions to maintain consistency across the program.

The successful candidate will be a strong communicator (both written and verbal), not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities, and have a basic understanding of data center construction, and a drive to learn and be curious.

They will be detailed oriented and apply a variety of program coordination tools, methodologies, and techniques that support quick and efficient purchasing across all commissioning project types.
