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

AWS runs the physical infrastructure behind one of the world’s largest cloud platforms, and a Data Center Engineering Operations Engineer is one of the people who keeps that infrastructure running every single day. Based in Dubai, this role sits inside AWS’s Data Center Engineering Operations team, responsible for the mechanical, electrical, and critical-environment systems that keep servers powered, cooled, and online around the clock.

Day to day, the job mixes hands-on technical work with structured process: monitoring building management systems, running planned maintenance on generators, UPS systems, chillers, and switchgear, troubleshooting faults as they arise, and escalating anything that threatens uptime. Because AWS data centers operate to extremely tight availability targets, engineers in this role work shift patterns and are expected to respond quickly and calmly when something goes wrong, following strict safety and change-management procedures throughout.

It suits someone who already has hands-on experience with electrical or mechanical building systems – generators, HVAC, power distribution – ideally from a data center, industrial, marine, or military background, and who is comfortable working in a highly regulated, safety-first environment. It’s a strong fit for people who like structured, technical problem-solving over ambiguity, and who want exposure to large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure rather than a typical facilities role.

## Requirements

- Hands-on experience with electrical and/or mechanical critical infrastructure (generators, UPS, HVAC, switchgear, or similar)

- Background in a data center, industrial, military, marine, or utilities environment preferred

- Comfortable working rotating shifts, including nights and weekends, in a 24/7 operations environment

- Strong troubleshooting and fault-diagnosis skills under time pressure

- Working knowledge of health, safety, and change-management procedures in a critical-facility setting

- Clear written and verbal communication for incident reporting and handovers

- Willingness to work on-site in Dubai

## Suggested Resume Keywords

data center operations, critical infrastructure, UPS systems, generators, HVAC, switchgear, building management systems, electrical maintenance, mechanical maintenance, 24/7 operations, incident response, AWS, change management, preventive maintenance
