Tenure: 1 year 3 months
After graduating from my master in Civil Engineering, I worked as a structural design engineer for one year eight months in a construction company in Belgium, and then as a general contractor on building sites ( 100M€+ ) for two years one month in the same company. I was responsible for the structure of the buildings. Afterward I decided to move to Japan and I worked on a solar power plant site for six months before joining AWS.
I wanted to work in a company which helps as many people as possible while staying in the construction industry I like a lot. Building data centers was an obvious choice, as everyone is using internet now. I decided to join AWS which is the global leader company in cloud services.
I work in the construction team, helping construction managers to build data centers. I am in charge of the project management software and manage general contractor and vendors regarding work / change / purchase orders, punch lists, as well as security plans and accesses. I also standardize project management in North Asia in order to reduce the level of effort of the different stakeholders of the construction projects.
At AWS, we can either grow in our current role, either change team to acquire new skills. It is impossible to get bored. I don’t know yet in which direction I want to go, but I am happy as long as I continue to learn new things.
Data Center is a growing industry and is constantly looking for new talents to join the team. A huge variety of roles are available, I am sure one of them will fit you. If you want to have a new challenge and to learn a lot, join us!
