Sr. Regional Enviro Engineer - Water Compliance, AWS Environmental Team
About the role
for the initial description paragraph(s). ThenResponsibilities
with ul list of responsibilities from "Key job responsibilities". ThenQualifications
maybe combine Basic and Preferred? Could separate Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as subheadings? But rule: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could haveRequirements
containing both basic and preferred? But we need to preserve all info. Could haveBasic Qualifications
andPreferred Qualifications
as separate sections if they have content. That's okay; they are substantive. But rule says prefer few sections over many thin ones; but we have many sections anyway. However we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. It does have basic and preferred qualifications. So we can include them. Also Skills: The posting mentions "Strong analytical, technical-writing, communication, relationship-building, influencing, and negotiation skills." under Preferred Qualifications. Could be a Skills section. Could also put under Qualifications. But we have a Skills heading possible. Might be better to extract skills into its own section. Benefits: described: health insurance etc. Also mention sign-on payments and RSUs. So we can include Benefits section. Pay: salary ranges for three locations. Provide that. Schedule: not present, omit. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodations, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine the first paragraph(s) before "Key job responsibilities". The description: "As a Regional Environmental Engineer (REE) specializing in water compliance, you will support water-related environmental compliance at AWS data centers. You will provide technical expertise in permitting and compliance across National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Significant Industrial User (SIU) discharge, potable water systems, groundwater wells, onsite wastewater treatment systems, stormwater, and water-quality monitoring and reporting. You will evaluate existing and proposed infrastructure, develop scalable compliance programs and technical standards, monitor environmental performance, and partner with design, construction, operations, and other stakeholders to incorporate water-related regulatory requirements into site design and operation." That's the description. Also maybe include "About The Team" paragraph? That is about team but not required? Could be considered part of About the role? Might be considered extra but it's substantive. However rule: do not repeat job title as heading; we can include team description under About the role or maybe a separate section About the team. But we have limited headings; we could incorporate into About the role. Better to keep About the role as the initial description plus maybe the team paragraph. Let's include both paragraphs. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet from "Key job responsibilities". Need to extract each sentence starting with "Lead water compliance programs..." etc. Let's list them: - Lead water compliance programs for water supply and discharge across US data center locations - Develop and maintain the water compliance program that guides how sites and REEs obtain, renew, modify, interpret, and implement NPDES and other water discharge permits under the Clean Water Act, 40 CFR Part 122, and applicable state regulations, and translate effluent limitations, monitoring, operating, reporting, and notification requirements into site-level compliance programs - Provide guidance on evaluating regulatory applicability and permitting requirements for new sites, expansions, operational changes, and new or modified discharges - Provide guidance on evaluating industrial wastewater and stormwater permitting and compliance, including federal pretreatment under 40 CFR Part 403, local sewer-use ordinances, POTW requirements, pollution-prevention plans, inspections, best management practices, monitoring, and reporting - Provide technical guidance on potable water systems and onsite wastewater systems, including design, operation, monitoring, and compliance under applicable drinking-water and septic requirements - Develop standard templates and technical guidance for water-quality sampling and monitoring plans, review site plans, and set standards for sampling equipment, monitoring systems, and analytical methods under 40 CFR Part 136 - Evaluate water and wastewater treatment processes, system performance, waste-stream characterization, water balances, and discharge pathways to determine permitting and compliance implications - Build the mechanisms, dashboards, and metrics that track water-quality data, lab reports, DMRs, and compliance performance, and support sites in identifying trends, exceedances, corrective actions, and forecasting across sites - Read and evaluate engineering plans, process-flow diagrams, P&IDs, and specifications, and partner with design, engineering, construction, and operations teams to build water-related controls into current and future designs early - Clearly communicate the technical and regulatory basis for environmental requirements and influence partner teams to implement compliant, practical, and scalable solutions - Set the standards and oversight mechanisms that keep work by employees, contractors, and consultants aligned with applicable environmental requirements and Amazon standards - Support REEs and sites in their interactions with regulatory agencies, utilities, POTWs, consultants, and contractors, and engage directly on program-level matters - Support time-critical regulatory notifications, permit applications, and monitoring reports, and support emergency response planning and incident investigations, including root causes and corrective and preventive actions - Develop and deliver water compliance training for relevant staff - Stay current with evolving water regulations and industry best practices for domestic and non-contact cooling, particularly in the data center sector Now Qualifications: Basic Qualifications list: - Experience reading and writing procedures, technical documents, and engineering drawings - Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field - Experience with NPDES and industrial wastewater permitting and compliance, including interpreting effluent limitations, sampling/monitoring requirements, reporting obligations, and noncompliance notification requirements under the Clean Water Act, 40 CFR Part 122, and federal pretreatment requirements under 40 CFR Part 403, and applicable state or local regulatory programs. - Experience developing or implementing water-quality sampling and monitoring programs, including sampling plans, sampling locations, analytical parameters and methods, sampling equipment, laboratory coordination, and data evaluation. Preferred Qualifications list: - Master's degree in engineering or equivalent - Experience supporting water compliance across multiple facilities, jurisdictions, or regulatory programs, and with public water system requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act, 40 CFR Part 141, and applicable state drinking-water programs. - Working knowledge of potable water and septic/onsite wastewater treatment systems, including their design, operation, monitoring, and regulatory compliance. - Experience with industrial wastewater treatment, pretreatment systems, publicly owned treatment works, and local industrial-user permits, including evaluating the design and operation of water and wastewater treatment, conveyance, storage, sampling, and monitoring systems. - Experience reviewing civil, mechanical, plumbing, and process designs for water-related regulatory and permit compliance. - Experience developing scalable environmental standards, procedures, tools, or compliance mechanisms for use across multiple sites, and managing multiple technically complex projects and regulatory deadlines in a fast-paced environment. - Strong analytical, technical-writing, communication, relationship-building, influencing, and negotiation skills. We could split into Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications sections. Skills: Could extract the strong analytical etc. But it's already in Preferred Qualifications. Might be redundant to have separate Skills. But we could still have Skills section listing those skills. However rule: prefer few sections over many thin ones. Having both Preferred Qualifications and Skills may be thin. Better to incorporate skills into Preferred Qualifications. So we will not create separate Skills section unless we have other skills not covered. The posting does not have separate skills list. So we skip Skills. Benefits: The paragraph: "Amazon also offers 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, and parental leave. Learn more about our benefits at https://amazon.jobs/en/benefits." Also earlier: "Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs)." So we include that. Pay: The salary ranges listed for three locations: "USA, TX, Austin - 139,300.00 - 208,000.00 USD annually", etc. We'll include as a list. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not include any extra text outside HTML.
Let's construct:
