Cable Installation Technician

About the role

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure — the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure 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 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 across AWS to deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers, in an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Amazon is looking for an Infrastructure Delivery Installation Technician to join our growing team within infrastructure operations. You will work with minimum supervision in a dynamic environment to drive the stability and sustainability of our next-generation networks and assist in the development of innovative ways to automate and scale our network. Success requires technical aptitude, strong written and oral communication skills, the ability to deal effectively with people in a wide variety of situations, strong analytical skills with demonstrated problem-solving ability, high levels of initiative, judgment, and diplomacy, and the ability to work both independently and with a team. Work prioritization, organizational skills, effective communication, and the ability to react quickly are critical.

This role supports a new data center currently in various stages of development and construction. You may be assigned to a facility still under construction, requiring travel to established locations for training until your designated site becomes operational. Candidates must be willing to travel (over 50 miles) or commute (less than 50 miles) to active data center sites as needed during this transition period. You will be responsible for having a reliable personal vehicle and valid driver's license to travel within the regional work area, as company transportation will not be provided. Amazon is not able to provide sponsorship now or in the future for these positions; eligible candidates must have work authorization without employer intervention.
