About the Role
Amazon is seeking a talented and self-motivated Construction Environmental Program Manager to join our EMEA Environmental team. As Amazon expands its physical presence across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, we are committed to conducting construction activities in the most environmentally responsible way possible, meeting or exceeding local environmental regulations at every stage. This role is central to how AWS delivers on that commitment during the construction phase of our data centers. You will own the Environmental Construction Program for the EMEA region—developing strategy, building scalable processes, and driving operational excellence across a rapidly growing portfolio of projects. While the primary focus is programmatic—designing frameworks, setting standards, and driving adoption at scale—the role also involves periodic visits to construction sites to observe program implementation first-hand and validate that standards are being applied effectively on the ground. You will partner with construction teams, contractors, and cross-functional stakeholders to embed environmental best practices at every stage of the construction lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities
Program Development & Implementation: Define and implement the EMEA Construction Environmental Program, including standards, workflows, service-level agreements (SLAs), and operational excellence mechanisms. Develop and maintain the Construction Environmental Risk assessment framework for the region, ensuring high-risk aspects are identified early in the project lifecycle (pre-design through Facilities Handover). Create and own the regional environmental inspection and audit protocols, ensuring consistent execution across all EMEA markets. Establish program requirements for Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs) and oversee their quality across the portfolio.

Compliance & Stakeholder Management: Partner with Construction Managers, General Contractors, and Regional Environmental Engineers to ensure environmental compliance across all phases of construction projects. Serve as the EMEA point of contact for construction environmental matters, providing guidance and technical support to project teams. Coordinate with environmental consultants, regulatory agencies, and internal stakeholders. Review design changes for environmental compliance implications and advise project teams accordingly.

Metrics, Reporting & Continuous Improvement: Define and track environmental compliance metrics for the EMEA construction portfolio. Build dashboards and reporting mechanisms for leadership visibility. Lead environmental incident investigations and oversee corrective actions, including Root Cause Analyses and Corrections of Errors. Proactively identify systemic issues and drive improvements through data analysis, trend identification, and best-practice sharing. Prepare regulatory reports and maintain documentation in line with program standards.

Training & Capability Building: Develop and deliver environmental training and awareness programs for construction teams and contractors across EMEA. Share best practices and lessons learned across projects to raise the environmental performance bar. Build and maintain program documentation (playbooks, templates, guidance materials) to enable scalable execution.
