As a member of the Global Controls Team, you will collaborate with highly motivated operators, engineers and technicians in the data center industry to maintain and optimize critical infrastructure systems. You will be responsible for troubleshooting and maintaining the Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) while developing new processes and standards that drive innovation in the controls space.
AWS data centers utilize sophisticated industrial control systems to automatically operate mechanical equipment, maintaining optimal temperature and pressure conditions throughout the facilities. These systems integrate and monitor multiple critical components, including generators, uninterruptible power sources, diesel generators, electrical switchgear, power distribution units, variable frequency drives, automatic and static transfer switches, air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers, Computer Room Air Handlers (CRAHs), and air economizers. Within this industrial control system infrastructure, the BMS serves as the primary control platform for all mechanical systems within the data center, while the EPMS functions as the primary monitoring platform for all electrical systems. This position offers the opportunity to work with technology in mission-critical environments while contributing to the reliability and efficiency of AWS's global infrastructure.
Key job responsibilities
- Primarily work in and support multiple data centers by deploying, servicing, and upgrading BMS and EPMS systems.
- Mentor and train Facilities team members on the operation and control of BMS and EPMS systems.
- Manage small to medium-sized projects and programs.
- Perform point-to-point checkouts between field devices and controllers.
- Perform first-line diagnostics, troubleshooting, and maintenance of programming code and hardware associated with BMS and EPMS in data centers.
- Execute provisioning processes for servers, controllers, industrial PCs, and network configurations, including communication testing between third-party devices and controllers or servers.
- Install, replace, configure, and calibrate sensors.
- Read and interpret electrical schematics and control panel drawings with a basic understanding of closed-loop controls, field sensor scaling, and functions typically performed by industrial controllers.
- Supervise low-voltage electrical contractors performing wiring and installation of field devices in compliance with AWS requirements.
- Provide commissioning and systems-level testing support.
- Create red-lined drawings and documentation of systems.
- Follow change management processes to generate work requests and methods of procedures.
- Participate in factory witness tests at vendor or panel builder facilities.
- Perform root cause analysis during testing and commissioning.
- Ensure personnel on site utilize proper safety methodology.
- Perform service activities including monitoring and reviewing ticketing systems, conducting root cause analysis, and prioritizing tasks.
- Actively manage service agreements including vendor labor scheduling, quality assurance, and financial invoice review.
- Participate in material handling tasks such as lifting, carrying, or moving up to 50 lbs of equipment, and utilize OSHA-standard safety equipment including limited weight-bearing work platforms, ladders, step stools, and personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety harnesses.
- Perform other tasks as assigned by manager.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Center Manager
Align your degree to the role
E-3 visa eligibility requires a direct link between your Australian bachelor's degree and the Center Manager position. A degree in business administration, healthcare management, or operations management strengthens your specialty occupation case at the consulate.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search DOL's public disclosure data for employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for management roles. Prior LCA filings signal that a company already understands the E-3 process and won't balk at sponsorship paperwork.
Frame sponsorship as a cost advantage in negotiations
E-3 sponsorship costs employers far less than H-1B visa, with no lottery risk and no attorney retainer for cap-season strategy. Raising this during offer discussions removes the most common employer objection before it surfaces.
Get your employment contract right before the LCA
The LCA must reflect your actual job title, duties, and work location. A vague or mismatched offer letter causes DOL delays or consulate pushback. Lock down a detailed employment agreement with your hiring manager before filing begins.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the full process
From LCA certification through consulate preparation, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles every step. This matters for Center Manager applicants whose roles span multiple work sites, since each location may require separate LCA documentation.
Find Center Manager roles with E-3 sponsorship on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters job listings by E-3 visa sponsorship willingness, so you're not cold-applying to employers unfamiliar with Australian visa requirements. Search by industry and location to target facilities actively seeking management talent.
E-3 Visa Center Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Center Manager jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the recommended starting point. It lists Center Manager roles filtered by E-3 sponsorship willingness, so you can focus on employers already open to hiring Australian nationals. Searching general job boards surfaces roles where sponsorship is either unknown or unlikely, which wastes time during a visa-dependent job search.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Center Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
It depends on the specific role and your degree. Center Manager positions in healthcare, operations, or retail qualify when the employer can demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a relevant field is a standard requirement for the role. A general management title with no degree requirement attached will not meet the specialty occupation threshold, so the job description wording matters significantly.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Center Manager roles?
The E-3 has no annual lottery, no cap to worry about, and can be filed any time of year. For Center Manager candidates, this means you can accept an offer in September and start within weeks rather than waiting until the following October. The H-1B requires cap-season registration and a random lottery selection that excludes most applicants in any given year.
Can I manage staff across multiple locations on a single E-3 visa?
Your E-3 visa is tied to the employer and the primary work location listed on the LCA. If your Center Manager role requires regular work at additional sites, each location may need its own LCA filing. Discuss this with your employer before the application is filed so the paperwork reflects your actual duties and prevents compliance issues later.
