With everything you observe on your shifts, you’ll suggest improvements to make our systems more efficient and productive and then implement those improvements across an EU-wide function. You’ll also be monitoring processes with tools like Scada to guarantee their performance, as well as working closely with your line manager to assist with admin tasks.
This role is located at one of our operational sites. You’ll work shift patterns, which may include some weekends and nights. As you develop your experience within this exciting part of Amazon, you’ll be well-placed to progress into more senior roles.
About the team
Our Reliability Maintenance Engineering or RME team keep our equipment performing at its best. We're a technically minded team, made up of excellent team players and guided by experienced leaders. We work together to maintain, troubleshoot and repair equipment across our global network of fulfilment centres. Some of our people are leaders, who oversee the team as they work on exciting technology – some of which only exists at Amazon.
From installing automated packaging systems to overseeing the general maintenance of a site to repairing key distribution equipment, our team handles most aspects of Amazon’s technical side. This includes keeping buildings legally compliant, so everyone is safe, and our sites are operating at maximum efficiency. There are lots of opportunities for progression, both within the RME team and more widely across Amazon.
Everything we do focuses on reducing downtime in Amazon’s crucial operations sites, so customers get their orders on time. We often work during early or late hours to carry out maintenance with minimal disruption, including night shifts. If we spot a better way to do something, we have the skills and the opportunity to develop and introduce completely new processes or cutting-edge tech like Amazon Robotics and our Complex Item Sorter.
