Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Capacity Installation Technician to join our growing team within infrastructure operations. This is an entry level position and a unique opportunity to work in some of the most innovative and fast paced data centers in the world.

About You
At Amazon, everyone is a leader. You are self-motivated and can adapt in a fast-paced environment, that is constantly evolving. You seek to understand how things work and are a problem solver. We have guidelines and processes to follow, and the work requires attention to detail and a desire to find answers. Where there are not answers, you see opportunities to find solutions and make improvements to our processes. If you enjoy working alongside a close-knit and diverse team of leaders, this is the place to be!

You will work independently or with your colleagues, and also work with the teams that support this infrastructure and the customers that rely on it.

As you receive on-the-job training, gain cross-functional, transferable skills, and establish yourself as a knowledgeable, efficient technician, your contract can be extended or become a full-time Capacity Install Technician position.
