# Data Center Facility Engineer, Data Center Engineering Operations, AWS – Amazon

Data Center Engineering Operations keeps the physical infrastructure behind Amazon Web Services running: power systems, cooling plant, fire suppression, building management systems and generators that a data centre depends on around the clock. A Data Center Facility Engineer in this team is responsible for the day-to-day operation, monitoring and maintenance of that critical infrastructure at AWS’s Abu Dhabi facilities, keeping the site within tight operating parameters at all times.

The work is hands-on and shift-based: monitoring building management and electrical monitoring systems, responding to alarms, running planned preventive maintenance on mechanical and electrical equipment, and troubleshooting faults quickly when something does go wrong, since downtime in a live data centre has an immediate, visible impact on customers. There’s a safety-first culture throughout — working around high-voltage electrical systems and critical cooling plant means following strict procedures every time, with no exceptions.

It suits someone with a background in critical facilities, electrical or mechanical engineering, or data centre operations, who is comfortable being on call and responding fast when an issue arises. AWS data centres run at a scale and reliability bar that few facilities elsewhere match, so the role rewards people who are methodical under pressure and genuinely enjoy keeping complex physical systems running rather than just watching a dashboard.

The appeal is exposure to some of the most advanced critical infrastructure in the UAE, working inside a team that treats uptime as close to non-negotiable, which builds a depth of hands-on facilities expertise that’s hard to get anywhere outside hyperscale data centre operations.

## Requirements

- Experience in data centre operations, critical facilities engineering, or electrical/mechanical maintenance

- Working knowledge of building management systems, electrical distribution, UPS and generator systems, or precision cooling

- Comfort working shifts and being on call for critical incidents

- Strong troubleshooting ability under time pressure

- Rigorous adherence to safety procedures around high-voltage and mechanical systems

- Technical diploma, degree in electrical/mechanical engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience

- Clear, calm communication during incident response and handovers

- Willingness to work in a physically demanding, hands-on facilities environment
