Your expertise includes managing timelines, budgets, and resources effectively to ensure successful project delivery. You are skilled in facilities management and understand the intricacies of construction engineering, making you a valuable asset in the planning and execution phases of construction projects.
You possess excellent communication skills, allowing you to serve as a direct point of contact between various stakeholders, including design and engineering teams, general contractors, and Amazon's internal teams. Your ability to integrate diverse teams and manage expectations is crucial for the success of the projects you oversee. You are also adept at contract management, ensuring that all agreements are adhered to and that projects remain compliant with regulations and standards.
Your experience includes a solid understanding of tenant improvements and renovations, particularly in the context of fulfillment centers. You are familiar with the challenges and requirements of constructing and renovating facilities that support high-volume operations. You thrive in environments that require regional travel and are willing to relocate if necessary to meet the demands of the role.
Experience with Amazon's operational standards or similar large-scale fulfillment operations is a plus. Familiarity with construction management software and tools will enhance your ability to manage projects efficiently. A background in engineering or architecture can also be beneficial, providing you with a deeper understanding of the technical aspects of construction.

Your ability to integrate construction efforts with other operational requirements will be essential in ensuring that fulfillment centers are equipped and operational in a timely manner.
You will oversee the management of contracts, ensuring compliance with all agreements and regulations.
