About this role
Amazon hires a facility engineer for a data center in the Tokyo, Chiba or Kanagawa area, where the person keeps the mechanical and electrical equipment running so cloud services stay available around the clock.
The engineer maintains and manages the data center's mechanical and electrical systems, responds to equipment failures to minimize customer downtime, investigates and resolves technical problems from failures, maintenance and expansion, and installs and removes equipment. Day to day this means shift work among server rooms, air-conditioning plant rooms and electrical rooms, monitoring systems, planning maintenance and managing maintenance vendors.
Applicants need at least one year of work with facilities, electrical, mechanical, fire protection or control systems and a basic understanding of them, the ability to work 12-hour shifts including nights on a four-on, three-off pattern, the ability to lift about 18 kg with aids, and native-level Japanese. Experience in electrical or mechanical engineering, manufacturing, marine, oil and gas, nuclear or telecom is preferred.
