This role goes beyond reviewing a completed design package. You will define and continuously improve the pre-construction process itself into scalable standards that improve speed, design quality, cost predictability, and constructability across the QC portfolio.
Key job responsibilities
Own and continuously improve QC pre-construction technical design and site evaluation standards across formats.
Develop site feasibility criteria, technical design review checklists, cost estimating frameworks, and due diligence standards.
Define new pre-construction processes where established evaluation methods, design review workflows, or permitting strategies do not yet exist.
Evaluate prospective sites for infrastructure capacity, existing building conditions, constructability, permitting complexity, cost, and operational requirements to inform site selection decisions.
Lead technical review of AOR and EOR design deliverables, evaluating design packages for constructability, specification compliance, infrastructure integration risks, code compliance, and alignment with QC deployment standards before construction handoff.
Benchmark QC technical design standards against international quick commerce operators, identifying design innovations, infrastructure approaches, and deployment methodologies that can be adapted to improve QC’s North America standards.
Partner with Design Engineering, Construction, Real Estate, SUEX, WHS, Finance, Operations, and external AOR/EOR partners to resolve complex pre-construction issues and align site evaluation criteria.
Root-cause recurring pre-construction issues and translate findings into upstream improvements to site selection criteria, design specifications, AOR/EOR scopes, cost models, and permitting processes.
Establish change-management mechanisms ensuring design learnings, cost data, jurisdictional findings, and international benchmarking insights are consistently incorporated into future site evaluations and design standards.
Serve as the technical escalation point for complex pre-construction issues, determining whether gaps stem from site conditions, AOR/EOR design quality, cost assumptions, permitting, or evaluation methodology.
A day in the life
You start by reviewing a batch of prospective sites, assessing infrastructure capacity, existing building conditions, permitting jurisdiction complexity, and technical constraints to inform site selection and determine fit for QC deployment. Mid-morning, you lead a design review session on an AOR’s 90% construction document set, flagging a refrigeration layout concern and a fire protection code question that need resolution before permit submission. After lunch, compare QC’s cold-chain infrastructure approach against a leading international quick commerce operator’s design, identifying an equipment standardization opportunity worth exploring. You then join a call with a municipality and EDP partners to resolve an open plan review comment that is holding up a permit timeline. Before end of day, you document lessons from a recently permitted site and update the EOR scope of work template so the next design cycle captures requirements that were missed in this round. Your work turns site evaluation, design review, and international benchmarking learnings into repeatable improvements for future QC deployments.
About the team
The QC Pre-Construction team evaluates and prepares multiple site formats across varying building conditions, jurisdictions, and infrastructure configurations supporting Amazon’s Quick Commerce across North America. TIPMs work alongside Pre-Construction Managers, Construction, Design Engineering, Real Estate, SUEX, WHS, Finance, Operations, EDP, and external AOR/EOR partners to develop scalable pre-construction solutions. While Pre-Construction Managers lead day-to-day site evaluation and project setup activities, TIPMs define and improve the technical standards that guide how sites are assessed and how design partners deliver.
