Operational excellence is at the forefront of our approach, raising the bar across all aspects of the project process to provide our customers with a seamless IT delivery experience. As we continue to grow our Quality Assurance division, we are looking for team members to deliver our Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC) inspection program for Network Infrastructure.
As an ICT Build Quality Assurance Coordinator within CIT, you will have oversight of Amazon’s global corporate ICT infrastructure during the execution phase of a build. The role will be office based and you will also be required to travel to project sites to ensure that Amazon’s Low Voltage Contractors (LVC) have completed all projects tasks in accordance with the statement of work (SOW). This includes, but is not limited to inspecting and validating that MDF/IDF network infrastructure (i.e. routers, switches, servers, PDU’s & UPS), racks and patch panels are installed, labeled, and patched in accordance with contract documents (i.e. TSOW, T-series drawings & patch schedules). Furthermore, you will own review/archiving of LVC weekly status reports, change orders, risk/issue tracking, and project deliverables, such as test results and as-builts to name.
The position requires working knowledge in a wide variety of building types and systems consisting of installation and maintenance standards. Candidates must be capable of auditing and inspecting these standards for compliance, verify defects, generate punch lists, report and generate remediation plans, identify and respond to risks and high-priority issues rapidly, effectively action and close all customer complaints and defects, and socialize (both written/verbally) with key stakeholders. This position will be part of a fast-moving business unit, where everyone on the team works on their own initiative and work effectively in a collaborative environment.
As a member of this global team, you will engage with key stakeholders across various disciplines. You will work with multiple stakeholder teams to ensure the ICT infrastructure is fit for purpose, and ready for commencement of network device commissioning activities. The role will also require engagement with third party ICT design consultants, and management of Low Voltage Contractors (LVC).
You are the right person for this job if you have a solid end user focus and a passion for producing high-quality deliverables. You must be a self-starter and a critical thinker to deliver results with an intense curiosity and drive for learning. You must demonstrate the ability to efficiently plan and prioritize deliverables and resources across multiple projects and working groups. This position requires you to manage stakeholder expectations, schedules and scope. You must exhibit bias for action, and not rely on others to show you the path forward.
