Full Job Description

Amazon builds fast — and behind every new Fulfilment Center, Sortation Center, and Delivery Station is a cost estimate that had to be accurate, defensible, and ready when decisions need to be made. We're looking for a Cost Engineering Manager who will deliver construction cost engineering services to Amazon's North America Design & Construction stakeholders — producing the estimates, cost models, and analytical outputs that inform capital investment decisions across Amazon's NA infrastructure network. This role is high-impact, high-variety, and technically demanding. You'll deliver a range of estimates, across a diverse portfolio of NA building types and project scopes — from multi-site retrofit programs to one-off capital projects — where site conditions, design parameters, and scope ambiguity make every engagement a unique analytical problem. You'll work from early concept sketches through bid-ready construction documents, applying construction domain expertise to produce cost intelligence that directly shapes business outcomes. The core deliverable is construction cost estimates — and the role is within Amazon's Global Procurement Organization, Sourcing Excellence pillar, which means you'll also have the opportunity to expand into broader cost engineering disciplines: should-cost modeling that anchors supplier negotiations, and value engineering initiatives that challenge specifications and drive design-to-cost outcomes. You will work closely with AI and Market Intelligence Solutions, leveraging AI-powered tools daily to accelerate analysis, build scalable costing datasets, and contribute to the development of next-generation automation that multiplies the team's reach. Key job responsibilities Deliver independent, bottom-up construction cost estimates for NA Design & Construction stakeholders across Amazon's building portfolio — spanning retrofit, expansion, and new-build scopes across multiple building types and network segments Develop cost estimates from earl
