Construction Manager, GES NA, Design and Construction
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what goes into each section.
About the role: prose from first paragraph(s) up to maybe before "Key job responsibilities". Let's extract:
"Description As a Construction Manager within Global Engineering Services (GES) North America (NA) Design & Construction (D&C), you are Amazon's owner's representative throughout the full construction lifecycle. You play an integral role in delivering the built facilities and infrastructure that power Amazon's logistics network — including sortation centers, delivery stations, and auxiliary buildings — through new builds, retrofits, and expansions. In this role, you serve as the primary point of interface between Amazon and its external partners — developers, general contractors, design engineers, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) — while collaborating closely with internal stakeholders responsible for equipping, furnishing, and operating our facilities. You are accountable for the safe, on-time, in scope, and on-budget delivery of construction projects, and you bring a disciplined approach to budget management, schedule oversight, contract execution, and quality assurance. You operate with a high degree of independence within your assigned region, managing multiple concurrent projects while maintaining clear and transparent communication with all project stakeholders. This role combines construction management, engineering, project planning, contract management, and facilities delivery — and requires approximately 60% regional travel within North America. This role requires 60% regional travel on a yearly basis. When not traveling, you must have availability to work from a corporate office. Candidates should either live near or be willing to relocate within a reasonable commuting distance of one of the corporate office locations listed. Relocation assistance may be provided."
That's the about role.
Responsibilities: We have "Key job responsibilities" with subheadings and bullet-like paragraphs. We'll turn each subheading into maybe a
- with the description? Or we could keep subheadings as inside
- . But rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a
where each - contains the responsibility heading and its description.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So include each responsibility block.
Let's list them:
Safety & Compliance Champion:
- Amazon's safety programs and standards across all internal and external project teams; hold all accountable to a safety-first culture
- Interface and coordinate with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to maintain regulatory compliance and ensure seamless project execution

Project & Construction Management:
- Manage multiple concurrent projects simultaneously — ranging from small renovations to large-scale ($100M+) new facility builds — from design phase through construction completion and operational handover
- Serve as Amazon's owner's representative and primary integrator between construction execution teams and internal stakeholders (operations, equipment, IT, etc.)
- Review construction documents, drawings, and specifications for conformance to Amazon's building standards and design guidelines
- Identify and resolve design conflicts, schedule clashes, and coordination gaps with other Amazon execution teams
- Conduct detailed reviews of contractor bid packages, budgets, and schedules to identify and resolve discrepancies
- Assess project performance through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for safety, quality, cost, schedule, and sustainability
Budget, Schedule & Contract Management:
- Own comprehensive budget tracking, cashflow forecasting, and cost management across assigned projects

Innovation & Continuous Improvement:
- Provide critical review of current design standards to identify value engineering and design enhancement opportunities
- Seek sustainable, environmentally responsible solutions throughout the construction process in alignment with Amazon's building practices
- Identify and implement process improvements that drive better outcomes across safety, cost, schedule, and quality
Also "A day in the life" paragraph: Could be part of responsibilities or separate. It's prose describing typical day. Could be included in Responsibilities as a paragraph. We'll add as a
after the list maybe.
Requirements: Basic Qualifications list:
- Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience as an Architect, Engineer, Construction Manager, or in a related construction discipline
- 5+ years of project management experience spanning design phase through construction completion and operational handover
- 5+ years of experience negotiating construction, procurement, and/or labor contracts
- 5+ years of proficiency with AutoCAD and/or Building Information Modeling (BIM), and scheduling software (Primavera, MS Project, or similar)
- Position includes travel up to 60% (Nationwide). Travel involves air travel to regional airports and driving to site locations. A valid driver's license is required due to project assignments in areas with limited public transportation and rideshare options.
We could treat travel and driver's license as part of Requirements or maybe Schedule. But it's a qualification.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list:
- Experience across at least two disciplines within the construction industry (e.g., General Contracting, Owner's Representation, Commercial Development, Engineering & Design, or similar)
- Demonstrated success communicating project requirements to diverse audiences including senior leadership, public officials, vendors, and operational teams
- Experience in facilities management, including planning, design review, implementation, and project controls for new and existing structures
- Experience managing concurrent projects in a program management capacity
- CMIT/CMAA or PMP certification or equivalent
Skills: Could be the proficiency with AutoCAD/BIM, scheduling software, valid driver's license. But those already in Requirements. Might be redundant. However we need a Skills section only if posting has real specific content. The posting does mention those skills. We could still include a Skills section with those items, but we must not duplicate content? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid duplication. However we could place skills in Requirements and not have a separate Skills section. But the instruction says to use sections only when posting has real specific content for it. It doesn't require us to have all possible sections. So we can omit Skills if we feel its content is covered elsewhere. However the posting does mention specific skills: AutoCAD/BIM, scheduling software, valid driver's license. If we don't have a Skills section, we still need to preserve that info somewhere. We could put it under Requirements (as we already did) or under Qualifications. It's okay.
Benefits: Include:
- Sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs)
- Comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
- 401(k) matching
- Paid time off
- Parental leave
- Relocation assistance may be provided
Pay: Salary ranges per location:
List each location with range.
We need to preserve all substantive info: So we need to include each location and its range.
We can format as a
with each - containing location and range.
Schedule: Travel requirement: "requires approximately 60% regional travel within North America." Also "When not traveling, you must have availability to work from a corporate office." Also "Position includes travel up to 60% (Nationwide). Travel involves air travel to regional airports and driving to site locations." Also "This role requires 60% regional travel on a yearly basis." So we can summarize.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual specifics.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We need to ensure we don't include any markdown code fences. Just raw HTML.
