A day in the life
In every shift, you’ll be leading a team to make sure everyone has the
equipment they need and that it’s running properly. That involves monitoring
processes so that regulations and policies are followed and ensuring that
preventative maintenance is carried out to increase equipment uptime.
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

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

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.
