We're looking for a Cost & Value Engineering Manager to partner with Amazon's North America Design & Construction stakeholders, delivering construction cost engineering and value engineering services that optimize design, validate costs, and inform capital investment decisions across Amazon's infrastructure network.
You'll develop bottom-up cost estimates, should-cost models, and Value Engineering analyses across a diverse portfolio of building types, material handling equipment (MHE), automation, and capital projects. Working from early concepts through bid-ready construction documents, you'll apply technical expertise to balance cost, quality, performance, and operational requirements.
As part of Amazon's General Procurement Organization within the Sourcing Excellence pillar, you'll partner closely with Engineering, Design, Construction, Procurement, and Category teams to ensure Amazon is buying the right solution at the right price. You'll also collaborate with AI and Market Intelligence Solutions, leveraging AI-powered tools to accelerate analysis, develop scalable cost intelligence, and advance next-generation automation that expands the reach and impact of Cost & Value Engineering across Amazon.
Deliver independent, bottom-up cost estimates for construction, equipment, and capital investment projects across Amazon's global portfolio, spanning retrofit, expansion, new-build, automation, and equipment deployment initiatives.
Develop cost estimates from early-stage concepts through supplier selection and implementation, adapting methodologies and analytical depth to available project information and design maturity.
Perform should-cost modeling, benchmarking, and Value Engineering analyses to evaluate design alternatives, optimize specifications,



identify cost drivers, and ensure Amazon is buying the right solution at the right price.
Leverage AI-powered tools to automate data gathering, cost modeling, benchmarking, and pattern recognition while applying engineering judgment to validate outputs and resolve complex or ambiguous scopes.
Drive the development of scalable AI-enabled cost intelligence solutions by curating project and market data, validating model performance, and identifying opportunities to automate routine analytical activities.
Partner with Engineering, Design, Construction, Procurement, Category Management, and business stakeholders to validate assumptions, communicate cost risks, evaluate alternatives, and influence sourcing and investment decisions.
Peer review cost models, estimates, and Value Engineering recommendations to ensure technical rigor, consistency, and alignment with current market conditions and best practices.
Value Engineering) and Are we paying the right price? (Cost Engineering). Value Engineering ensures Amazon is investing in the right construction solutions, equipment, and technologies by optimizing specifications, design, materials, and performance to maximize business value while meeting operational requirements. Cost Engineering establishes cost transparency and price confidence through bottom-up cost estimation, should-cost modeling,



benchmarking, market intelligence, and cost driver analysis to determine what construction projects, equipment, and services should cost.
Together, these disciplines provide transparent, fact-based insights that enable informed sourcing, design, and investment decisions throughout the project lifecycle. Our vision is to make cost and value transparency a strategic capability across the organization, ensuring every investment delivers the optimal balance of cost, quality, performance, and operational requirements.
