The role

Amazon is seeking an experienced Structural Engineer to join our team as Senior Technical Infrastructure Program Manager (TIPM), playing a pivotal role in leading design, facility, and engineering activities within Amazon's Fulfillment Network across Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). This role will be located in Luxembourg or Madrid with occasional travel. Reporting directly to the Head of Global Building Design & Engineering in Luxembourg, the successful candidate will be responsible for developing and cross-functionally managing structural engineering programs aimed at optimizing and enhancing the safety and efficiency of both existing and new facilities. Collaboration with various stakeholders will be essential to drive the development and management of fire protection design specifications. The ideal candidate will possess extensive project and program management experience, practical knowledge of structural engineering, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, technical environment while partnering with multiple stakeholders to implement cost-saving processes and programs.

You will be our Subject Matter Expert for Timber, Metal and Concrete structures supporting the structural solutions for the prototype templates, working with other Global teams such as Sustainability and Execution teams such as Preconstruction and Construction.

The Sr TIPM (Technical Infrastructure Program Manager) will be the single threaded leader on structural design initiatives across the EMEA/EU/LATAM region while tracking key metrics and performance, function as consulting SME to stakeholders, be able to build a business case and market building improvements, and work across the industry to understand trends and develop scalable technologies.

Your morning begins with a cross-functional stand-up alongside architects, mechanical engineers, and construction managers, aligning on a new fulfillment center design. You dive into structural modeling — optimizing steel frames, analyzing seismic and equipment loads, and future-proofing for robotics. Midday brings peer design reviews where you challenge assumptions and drive cost-efficient solutions. Afternoons involve coordinating with fabricators, resolving site queries with bias for action, and developing standardized design templates that accelerate delivery across the network. You mentor junior engineers, collaborate globally, and own your designs from concept through construction. Here, you don't just design structures — you build the infrastructure powering customer delivery at unprecedented scale.
