Sr. Fire Protection Engineer, Mech, Fire and

Bachelor’s degree in Fire Protection Engineering, or an equivalent engineering degree in a related field with at least 2 additional years of qualifying experience.
- Cumulative 5+ years of experience in design engineering or construction industry, related to all aspects of fire protection, including at least fire suppression systems, fire alarm and detection systems, fire-resistive construction, and life safety.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
In this role you will influence all aspects of fire protection design, construction, operations, and maintenance for our global fleet of data centres. This includes fire suppression, fire detection, fire alarm, and mass notification systems, as well as fire-resistant construction and life safety. You will work with internal and external teams to define, design, detail, and document the various fire protection features that our facilities require, using both prescriptive and performance-based design approaches.
Primary responsibilities will be to perform and oversee project-related work, such as water supply analysis and design for fire water service to buildings, including coordination with third party vendors to establish basic site infrastructure requirements. You will typically prepare prescriptive designs for building fire suppression, alarm, and detection systems, while preparing or approving performance-based design elements as needed to support our goals. You will review all design disciplines to ensure they meet the minimum fire protection requirements described in our design standards. In some cases, you will oversee and review this work and in other cases you will perform the work yourself.
As part of this role you will work with internal and external stakeholders, including design engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, vendors, and other service providers. You will be part of a global team, operating within the APAC region, and you will be an integral part of our work to change the world through technology.
Key job responsibilities
- Driving improvement of design standards and project approaches across the organization.
- Work with third party design vendors to review concept designs and designs in progress to ensure they meet established design standards, local code requirements, and any other requirements of the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs).
- Be responsible for providing high quality fire protection engineering advice on a wide variety of projects globally whilst working with global fire protection engineering teams to achieve alignment of designs and design objectives.
- Coordinating with construction and commissioning teams to answer requests for information and value engineering queries.
- Be responsible for construction documents, code compliance, design and installation standards, water supply evaluation and assessment, testing, inspections, and submittal review.
- This position will involve 20% travel within APAC region and occasionally globally.
