A day in the life

You will work in one of our operational sites, which will allow you to provide hands-on guidance to your team and have a clear view of what is happening at your site. This involves collecting data and solving problems in a dynamic work environment. You will also have the opportunity to create an operations plan to increase productivity and efficiency at the site.

About the team

Our maintenance and reliability engineering (RME) team ensures our systems run at full capacity. We are characterized by our strong technical aptitude and excellent teamwork skills, led by highly experienced managers. Our work includes maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting of equipment across our global network of distribution centers. The team includes a range of management profiles responsible for overseeing the development of fascinating technologies, some of which exist only at Amazon.

Our team handles most of Amazon's technical aspects, performing tasks ranging from installing automated packaging systems to overseeing general site maintenance or repairing key distribution equipment. This includes adapting buildings to current legislation so that all staff are safe and our facilities operate as efficiently as possible. The RME team, as in other Amazon departments, offers numerous opportunities for professional growth.

All our work revolves around reducing downtime at Amazon's crucial operational sites so customers receive their orders on time. We often work in the early morning or late at night to carry out maintenance tasks with minimal disruption, which is why we work night shifts. If we discover there is a better way of doing something, we have the capability and the opportunity to develop and introduce entirely new processes or cutting-edge technology, such as Amazon Robotics and our complex-item sorter.
