Senior Project Controls Manager, Workplace Design & Construction - Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF)

Job description

Transform Amazon's Global Workplace Design & Construction

Lead Innovative Project Standards Across Continents

We're seeking a strategic project controls expert to revolutionize how we control project work streams within design, construct, and manage Amazon's corporate spaces worldwide. In this pivotal role, you'll develop groundbreaking standards that will shape workplace environments for thousands of Amazonians across multiple regions.

You will be the driving force behind standardizing project management & project controls processes for Amazon's global real estate construction portfolio. By creating robust frameworks and innovative control mechanisms, you'll ensure consistent excellence in workplace construction across EMEA and APAC regions.

At Amazon, we believe that in-person collaboration is essential to our culture and innovation. While we allow flexibility for personal circumstances, we generally expect employees to work from our offices five days a week. This approach has consistently shown that spontaneous interactions, rapid problem-solving, and the energy of in-person teamwork lead to better results for our customers. In particular, our data shows that teams working together in person are more effective at making complex decisions, onboarding new team members, and fostering the kind of creative collaboration that has driven Amazon's success.

The serendipitous hallway conversations and impromptu whiteboarding sessions that happen naturally in an office environment have proven invaluable to our invention process and maintaining our high bar for excellence.

Key job responsibilities

Create comprehensive budget, schedule, and quality management mechanisms for corporate facility projects

Partner with regional leaders to ensure consistent project delivery from design inception through operational turnover
