Job description

from Amazon careers
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 centers 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 AMER Schedule Controls Manager is responsible for providing centralized scheduling expertise across the AMER construction portfolio — ensuring schedule spec adherence, conducting weekly schedule quality reviews on active builds, and driving consistency in delivery methodology across all clusters. Schedule Controls Managers are constantly challenged to validate schedule assumptions against contractual milestones, identify risks to committed dates, and partner with TiPMs, Construction, and Pre-Con teams to ensure our data centers are delivered on time while maintaining the highest standards of quality and technical efficiency.

You'll scrutinize schedules, identify critical paths, validate delivery methodology assumptions, and collaborate with TiPMs, Construction, and Pre-Con teams to conduct weekly schedule quality reviews and validate inputs for planning cycles.

Key responsibilities include:

• Conduct weekly schedule quality reviews on active builds against the AMER scheduling specification

• Validate GC schedules (pre- and post-contracted) against committed milestones (H2C, NEA, PFHO)

• Develop and maintain schedules at L1–L5, including logic ties, resource loading, and delivery cadence assumptions

• Perform schedule risk analysis and what-if scenarios to support proactive intervention

• Create schedule reports and dashboards for regional and executive audiences

• Support field audits to validate schedule accuracy and process adherence

• Travel domestically up to 50% to support active builds and milestone readiness assessments

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
