Power & Hydrogen Program Manager, Power & Hydrogen Solutions, GESA

An execution-focused project/program manager responsible for the hands-on coordination and completion of power capacity and hydrogen fuel cell projects across the Amazon fulfillment network. This is a delivery role with a strong bias for action: the PM owns the details, gets into the field, and drives projects from feasibility through commissioning and handover. Oversees multiple concurrent projects spanning temporary and permanent power deployment (utility upgrades, generator installations, switchgear deployments, and air permitting) as well as hydrogen fuel cell execution — including decommissioning of existing assets, launch of new hydrogen infrastructure and fuel cells per Amazon standards and processes, and conversions of existing sites. Sets deadlines, assigns responsibilities, and personally tracks and unblocks progress. Prepares reports for upper management regarding the status of all projects. Requires a bachelor's degree and at least 4 years of project management experience in power infrastructure, electrical systems, hydrogen/fuel cell systems, or a related area. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, detail-oriented operator who thrives in ambiguity, dives deep into technical and schedule details, and acts with urgency rather than waiting for direction. Must be familiar with a variety of the field's concepts, practices, and procedures across both power and hydrogen domains. Relies on sound judgment to plan and accomplish goals, and is comfortable rolling up sleeves — walking the site, reading the drawings, chasing the long-lead order, and closing out the punch list. Leads and directs the work of contractors, vendors, and cross-functional teams. A wide degree of creativity and latitude is expected to solve complex energy infrastructure challenges across diverse site conditions and regulatory environments. Typically reports to a manager or head of a unit/department. Key job responsibilities Project Management & Bias for Action - Own delivery end to end and act with urgency — move projects forward every day rather than waiting for direction or escalation • Get into the details: read the drawings, interrogate the schedule, understand the single-line and the hydrogen P&ID, and verify the numbers personally • Be hands-on and in the field — walk the site, attend installation and commissioning activities, and verify work directly rather than relying solely on status reports • Build and maintain the plan of record: detailed schedules, critical-path analysis, dependencies, risks, and clear owners and dates • Proactively identify blockers and drive them to closure; dive deep on root cause and remove obstacles for contractors and cross-functional teams • Run a tight operating rhythm — stand-ups, weekly reviews, and crisp written updates that make status and risks unambiguous • Make decisions with incomplete information, bias toward action, and course-correct quickly as new data emerges Program Coordination & Oversight • Responsible for the coordination and completion of multiple simultaneous power and hydrogen execution projects across U.S. sites • Oversee all aspects of the execution program from feasibility through commissioning and handover • Set deadlines, assign responsibilities, and monitor and summarize the progress of all projects • Prepare reports for upper management regarding program status, including monthly flash updates and executive summaries • Lead and direct the work of contractors, vendors, consultants, and cross-functional teams • Perform a variety of tasks ranging from technical design review to stakeholder management to regulatory coordination Amazon Standards, Specifications & Quality Assurance • Follow and verify that Amazon standards, specifications, and processes are met across all power and hydrogen infrastructure installations • Ensure electrical equipment, switchgear, generators, fuel cells, hydrogen storage/dispensing systems, and associated systems comply with Amazon technical standards and design requirements • Conduct quality reviews at each project phase to validate adherence to Amazon specifications before progressing to the next milestone • Verify vendor deliverables, shop drawings, and equipment submittals meet Amazon engineering standards • Coordinate with Amazon internal engineering teams to resolve specification questions and obtain approvals • Document and track any deviations from Amazon specifications, securing proper waivers or corrective actions (e.g., Supplier Corrective Action Reports / SCARs) Power Capacity Execution • Drive execution of temporary and permanent power deployment projects — utility upgrades, generator installations, switchgear deployments, and service upgrades • Oversee deployment of temporary and permanent natural gas and diesel generator systems (1–5MW scale), including rental genset mobilization and conversion to permanent power • Manage utility coordination including transformer upgrades, switchgear installations, and service upgrades with utility companies • Own the end-to-end switchgear (SWGR) procurement process: specification development, vendor selection, purchase order issuance, and delivery tracking • Track SWGR lead times (typically 10–26 weeks) across all sites and ensure orders are placed to meet project timelines; monitor factory acceptance testing (FAT) and coordinate site delivery logistics • Review and validate electrical designs, single-line diagrams, load calculations, and power distribution configurations • Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA, and local electrical codes Hydrogen Fuel Cell Execution • Decommissioning: Plan and execute safe decommissioning of existing hydrogen infrastructure and fuel cell assets — isolation, purging/inerting, asset removal, site restoration, and disposition in accordance with Amazon standards and applicable safety codes • Infrastructure & fuel cell launch: Lead the launch of new hydrogen infrastructure and fuel cells per Amazon standards and processes — hydrogen storage and dispen
