Key job responsibilities
We are looking for a pragmatic owner who will own and drive first of a kind due diligence and development efforts across a range of power solutions across high voltage and medium voltage value chain. In this role you will be responsible for delivering large-scale critical generation, transmission, and distribution projects in partnership with our commercial energy and procurement teams globally under tight deadlines.
Your primary scope will be due diligence on a variety of power generation solutions, requiring you to partner with internal and external teams to develop our technical strategy informing commercial deals. You will deliver technical design solutions to facilitate data center electrical interconnection and maximize safety, availability, frugality, and efficiency of the design solution. In addition, you will support “net-new” power generation programs; therefore, an understanding of generation, interconnection, load siting and designs tied to HV/MV power systems with a solid understanding of operable designs, regulation, load planning, and contractual commercial constructs is critical to this role.
You will perform overall project management activities, ensuring excellent customer communication as the single-threaded owner for the execution of due diligence engagements and resolution of complex technical issues with internal and external partners. You will exercise high judgement in enabling power generation and transmission projects for mission critical load. You will own end-to-end due diligence reviews, including contract and financial model reviews, and synthesis of inputs from technical disciplines. Basic programming (HTML, Python) skills to build reports, roadmaps, program wikis, and mechanisms for effective product/program delivery is necessary.
You are a strong communicator with ability to earn trust and deliver with diverse teams such as design engineering, construction, planning, procurement, environmental and real estate teams to ensure delivery under tight timelines. Stakeholder management and weekly reporting on key project risks & issues at senior management, director and vice president level will be your responsibility. This is a high visibility and high impact role that will interact with all levels of AWS leadership. Amazon has a global presence; therefore 25% travel will be necessary. International support will be part of the job, and some international travel will be necessary. Support could consist of working on international teams and could require developing engineering deliverables and design document packages, coordinating stakeholders towards a coherent business outcome and resolving ambiguity.
