Application deadline: Apr 23, 2026

Join the world class safety culture at Amazon Web Services (AWS). We are looking for a motivated Health and Safety (H&S) Lead Auditor to drive safety compliance, continuous improvement, and operational excellence across our Infrastructure Services.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.
