Water Projects Manager, AWS Water Team

Every data center we build needs water to run — and getting it there, and safely back out, is one of the most important challenges we solve. In this role, you'll deliver the water and wastewater infrastructure our data centers depend on, and you'll do it by finding win-win solutions that bring real benefit to the communities we're part of while balancing business and environmental needs. This isn't a role where you sit behind a desk and wait for a connection. You'll be out in front, working shoulder-to-shoulder with local water and wastewater utilities and the communities they serve — long before a shovel hits the ground. You'll help utilities understand what we need and how we use water, so they can plan with confidence and speak to it openly with their own boards, councils, and neighbors. You'll size up whether a utility is ready to serve, spot the financial and community considerations early, and help shape the strategy and agreements that turn a promising site into a workable one. The best outcomes here are never one-sided. You'll look for win-win solutions that leave the communities we're part of better off — where the business gets the reliable, sustainable water it needs, the environment is protected, and the community genuinely benefits — and you'll bring people together to make those solutions real. At the same time, you won't lose touch with how water actually gets delivered: you'll stay close to the design and construction of the pipelines, treatment, and infrastructure that bring your strategy to life, so the plans you help set are grounded in what's really buildable. Here's why you'll love it: - You'll deliver something real. The pipelines, treatment, and systems you help bring online are what keep our data centers — and the digital world they power — running. - You'll create win-win solutions that give back. You'll find answers that work for everyone — delivering for the business while bringing real benefit to the communities we're part of and protecting the environment. - You'll own problems that don't have a template. Every utility, community, and site is different — you'll figure out what works rather than follow a script. - You'll grow across two worlds. You'll build deep expertise in water strategy, negotiation, and community engagement while staying hands-on with real infrastructure. - You'll be trusted early. You'll work directly with the utilities and communities behind our projects, taking on more of that relationship as you grow into the role. What you'll do: - Deliver the water and wastewater infrastructure that brings water to — and safely away from — our data centers. - Build early, genuine relationships with the water and wastewater utilities and communities we depend on, and become their go-to point of contact. - Help utilities understand our water needs and usage so they can plan ahead and represent projects accurately in public forums. - Find win-win solutions that bring benefit to the communities we're part of while balancing business and environmental needs — and bring the right people together to make them happen. - Figure out whether a utility can actually serve a project, and surface the financial, regulatory, and community risks early. - Do the homework on candidate sites — what water is available, where it can go, and what it'll take — so we choose the right places to build. - Shape the water supply and discharge strategy that guides everything downstream. - Negotiate the agreements that secure water service, and get creative when the standard playbook doesn't fit. Key job responsibilities The Water Projects Engineer will be responsible for the following: Infrastructure Delivery - Support the planning, design, and execution of water and wastewater infrastructure projects that support water delivery to our facilities. - Participate in design reviews, constructability and cost/schedule assessments, and coordination with engineering, real estate, and environmental
