Job Description
You'll join a diverse team of data center professionals.
Key Responsibilities
- Leading a multidisciplinary team of engineers through all phases of data center critical infrastructure design from concept through detailed engineering, construction documentation, and commissioning validation.
- Owning end-to-end design direction for power, cooling, controls, physical security, and structural systems setting the architectural vision and ensuring designs meet AWS performance, reliability, and cost targets.
- Establishing regional design standards, basis-of-design documents, and design quality frameworks that drive consistency and scalability across APAC projects.
- Leading design reviews from schematic through 100% construction documentation, ensuring technical rigour, code compliance, and alignment with AWS global design principles.
- Driving design innovation, automation, and tooling initiatives that reduce cycle time, minimise rework, and improve documentation quality.
- Tracking design-specific KPIs, cycle time, design maturity, RFI rates, and first-pass quality integrating construction and commissioning feedback to close the as-designed to as-built loop.
- Driving design risk identification, constructability reviews, and value engineering across the region.
- Establishing design budgets, contributing to business cases, and partnering with finance, engineering leads, and internal customers to optimise resources and define deliverables.
- Driving permit approvals and interfacing with AHJ, Australian regulators, and government agencies.
- A day in the life
- As a Design Manager, your day is anchored in design. You might start with a technical design review of a new cooling topology, then shift to a cross-discipline coordination meeting resolving interface clashes between electrical and mechanical systems.
- After lunch, you're reviewing design automation outputs, benchmarking design cycle metrics against regional targets, and coaching a design engineer on construction documentation standards. Later, you brief leadership on design program status, or drive a constructability risk workshop with external consultants.
- Every day, you're shaping how AWS designs and delivers its most critical infrastructure in APAC.
