Ever wondered what it takes to build Amazon's massive global network and how we make sure every dollar spent on construction delivers maximum value? We're looking for a Senior Cost Engineering Manager who will own cost engineering on large-scale construction projects and help shape the future of AI-powered cost intelligence. This isn't a back-office analytics role. You'll be influencing multi-million-dollar supplier negotiations, presenting to senior leadership, and supporting the building of tools that will transform how Amazon Integral Procurement Organization models, negotiates, and manages construction costs worldwide. Construction is one of our largest and most complex procurement categories. Every project is different. Unique site conditions, local labor markets, permit requirements, and material constraints mean that each costing cycle demands a fresh bottom-up deep dive: decomposing cost structures, stress‑testing assumptions against local market realities, and building analytics that reflect the true cost drivers of that specific build.



You'll bring deep construction industry expertise and pair it with a forward-looking mindset, co‑creating AI‑driven tools that scale your impact far beyond individual projects.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end should‑costing on large-scale construction projects by reverse engineering supplier pricing to determine the true cost of constituent parts, labor, manufacturing, assemblies, overheads, and expected profit margins
- Build reliable bottom‑up cost models that simulate the industry benchmark with fact‑based calculations, serving as anchoring price targets in negotiation
- Challenge supplier quotations with rigorous technical analysis, forcing transparency into supply chain cost structures and driving meaningful cost reductions
- Present should‑cost findings and recommendations to senior leadership, acting as a trusted internal consultant on construction cost matters
- Co‑develop AI‑powered costing tools and feed s
