Regional Safety Manager - LATAM, DCC Communities
Santiago, ChileFull-timePosted Jun 30, 2026
Open original postingJoin AWS Infrastructure Services as a Regional Safety Manager and lead health and safety operations across our data centers in Mexico, Brazil, and Chile. You'll oversee a team of safety professionals, drive compliance with regional regulations, and shape a world-class safety culture that protects thousands of employees working on the infrastructure that powers the cloud.
We are a diverse group of safety professionals, engineers, and operations specialists committed to maintaining the highest standards of health and safety across AWS's global infrastructure. Our team works at the intersection of innovation and protection—supporting the engineers, technicians, and contractors who keep our data centers running safely and efficiently. We partner closely with colleagues in security, compliance, human resources, and corporate counsel to advance a unified safety vision across Mexico, Brazil, and Chile.
Our customers depend on us to deliver reliable cloud infrastructure, and our employees depend on us to create safe working environments. We're building a safety culture where every team member feels empowered to speak up, where hazards are identified and mitigated proactively, and where continuous improvement is the norm. By joining us, you'll help shape how safety evolves as our infrastructure grows and transforms.
Key job responsibilities
- Supervise and develop a team of Health and Safety Managers across the LATAM region, providing technical expertise, mentorship, and performance guidance to ensure consistent safety excellence.
- Ensure regulatory compliance by working with legal and program partners to implement and maintain safety programs aligned with local standards (STPS/NOM in Mexico, Normas Regulamentadoras in Brazil, Dirección del Trabajo/DS in Chile) and conduct safety data analysis and benchmarking.
- Represent the organization during regulatory inspections and investigations, addressing compliance issues at the site level and serving as the primary point of contact for regulatory authorities.
- Support site readiness and expansion by conducting initial inspections for new data center launches, identifying accountability structures, and preparing facilities for safe operations.
- Collaborate across functions with security, operations, compliance, and human resources teams to identify and implement initiatives that reduce health and safety risks, improve team efficiency, and strengthen our safety culture.
A day in the life
As a Regional Safety Manager, you'll balance strategic oversight with hands-on engagement across our LATAM data center operations. Your day might include conducting a site inspection at one of our facilities to assess hazard controls, then transitioning to a virtual meeting with your team of Health and Safety Managers to review compliance metrics and discuss emerging risks. You'll collaborate with data center engineers, security specialists, and operations leaders to evaluate new infrastructure projects through a safety lens, ensuring that innovation doesn't compromise protection. You may also prepare for a regulatory inspection, coordinate contractor safety verification, or develop training materials on fall protection or lockout procedures tailored to local requirements. Throughout, you'll be problem-solving in a dynamic environment where infrastructure evolves rapidly and your guidance helps teams navigate safety challenges with confidence.
