Are you ready to build at a scale that impacts millions of customers? Amazon is looking for a Senior Pre-Construction Manager to lead complex construction projects from strategy through delivery. In this role, you will oversee project management, design services, and external partner performance across multiple concurrent initiatives. You will develop project strategies, manage budgets, and ensure that every build meets Amazon's standards for quality, cost, and schedule. If you are a resourceful problem-solver who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys turning ambiguity into clear execution plans, we want to hear from you.
Key job responsibilities
Oversee end-to-end project management for complex construction projects, including design evaluations, external partner selections, contract negotiations, and procurement functions — ensuring delivery aligns with budget, schedule, and quality targets.
Develop project strategies and allocate resources effectively, holding project managers and external partners accountable for timely accomplishment of milestones while monitoring metrics and driving corrective actions when needed.
Manage project budgets and spend approvals, reviewing requests against business needs and recommending alternate solutions where appropriate to control costs and maximize value.
Collaborate with internal stakeholders, architects, design consultants, contractors, and subcontractors to align priorities, remove dependencies, and mitigate risks before they become roadblocks.

Identify opportunities to improve how projects are scoped, built, and deployed by developing and updating processes, conducting facility audits, and maintaining a safe work environment across all project sites.
A day in the life

Mentoring team members and participating in interviews round out your contributions beyond project delivery.
