Senior Water Design Engineer, EMEA Energy & WaterDESCRIPTION
The EMEA Energy and Water team is looking for a Senior Water Engineer to influence and own onsite design standards and influence water chemistry and treatment, coordinating with design engineering, construction, operations, and maintenance for our global fleet of data centres. If you like to use both prescriptive and performance-based design approaches to define, design, detail, and document the various water treatment features that our facilities require, we'd like to meet you. Your work will provide on-site design to ensure safe drinking waters, water treatment plant process design for industrial, and discharge compliance with environmental regulators.
AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) 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.
