DESCRIPTION
Do you thrive on solving real-time problems that keep critical infrastructure running? As an Operations Technology II engineer within the Facility Operations Center (FOC), you will remotely monitor data center power and cooling systems across the globe, acting as the first line of response when alarms fire. Your analysis and quick decision-making directly protect the availability of AWS Data Centers and the millions of customers who depend on them. If you enjoy working with complex mechanical and electrical systems in a fast-paced environment and want to grow your technical expertise, this role is for you.
Key job responsibilities
- Analyze alarm monitoring systems in real time, identify abnormal conditions, and execute established escalation processes to protect data center availability.
- Review work requests submitted by field technicians for compliance with safety and operational standards, ensuring work is authorized before execution.
- Create, document, and track incident tickets while coordinating with onsite data center teams to drive timely resolution.
- Troubleshoot moderate-to-high-complexity issues across mechanical, electrical, and fire-protection systems using technical documentation, prints, and operational dashboards.
- Provide process-improvement feedback to site leadership based on operating experience, and assist in developing updated maintenance procedures.
A day in the life
Your shift begins with a handoff briefing and a review of active alarms and open tickets from the prior watch. Throughout the day you monitor dashboards covering power, cooling, and fire-protection systems, triaging alerts and coordinating remotely with onsite engineers. Between alarm events you review incoming work requests for compliance, document findings, and collaborate with teammates to refine response procedures. The FOC operates on a follow-the-sun model, so your fixed daytime schedule supports 24/7 coverage without overnight shifts.
About the team
The Facility Operations Center is the command center for AWS Data Center operations, providing continuous global monitoring 24/7/365 through a follow-the-sun model. Our work is guided by three pillars: Safety, Security, and Availability.

Entry Level Facility Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level facility engineer job?
Focus on internships, campus lab experience, or any hands-on work with building systems, HVAC, electrical, or maintenance operations. Employers at this level look for a relevant degree in engineering or facilities management, familiarity with work order systems, and a willingness to learn on the job. Certifications like OSHA 10 or a Certified Facility Manager associate credential can give a junior candidate a clear edge.
Which companies hire entry level facility engineers?
Companies hiring entry level facility engineers right now include Meta, Amazon, and Neiman Marcus, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a wide range of employers, including corporate real estate teams, healthcare systems, manufacturing plants, and facilities management firms that actively onboard junior engineers for growth-track roles.
Are there remote entry level facility engineer jobs?
Yes, though most facility engineer roles are on-site by nature. About 0% of entry level facility engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be coordination, reporting, or project-support roles rather than hands-on building operations positions. On-site roles remain the most common path for candidates building early experience in this field.
Are these new grad facility engineer jobs?
Yes. The listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior facility engineer roles. A new grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or co-op work in place of full-time history, and may consider a strong capstone project or portfolio. If the posting lists 0-2 years as a requirement and mentions training or mentorship, it is designed for candidates entering the field for the first time.
Which industries hire the most entry level facility engineers?
Entry Level facility engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Retail, and Construction & Real Estate, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026.
