About the company & team

About the team

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

Our team handles most of the technical aspects of Amazon, 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, like other departments at Amazon, 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.
