Job description

Logistics Specialist, Data Center Operations, SYD InfraOps

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain - and we're looking for talented people who want to help.

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Logistics specialists play a vital role in the success of Amazon Web Services by providing the right part, in the right place at the right time. Your contribution to this success would be maintaining the onsite parts room in AWS Data Centres, by managing the custody of computer hardware through their entire lifecycle. This involves receiving parts, safely storing parts, picking and delivering parts to hardware technicians, cycle counts, and shipping faulty hardware back to the vendor.

You will work closely with Data Centre Operations and Engineering teams to ensure reliable functioning and repair activities to support our customers, while adhering to our operational tenants of safety, security and availability.

• Maintaining inventory levels to ensure that stock items are available to support build and repair activities.
• Receiving parts, checking shipments and issuing parts as needed for internal customers.
• Loading and unloading shipments and transporting parts between different sites.
• Maintaining accurate stock records for all items within our care.
• Maintaining the cleanliness, organization, and safety of all workspaces using 5S principles.

A day in the life: In this hands‑on position, your day will be spent carrying out Logistical support functions for our Data Centres. This will involve physical control and processing of spare parts transactions, consumables stock replenishment, and cycle counting of stock.

The role will require some travel between sites in the Sydney Metro area to successfully complete tasks such as cycle counts, receiving stock, replenishing stock, and returning defective equipment. Own transport to travel between sites will be required. You may be required to go into the Data Center after hours and over weekends on some occasions.

Amazon Operates with a principle of safety first. With this principle, we take significant care to ensure all employees operate in a safe manner and have appropriate tools to support them in undertaking their roles safely. The activities below are required with the safety principle applied:

• Loading and unloading shipments.
• Standing, sitting, and walking (including stairs) for prolonged periods of time.
• Willing and able to frequently push, pull, squat, bend and kneel.
• Reach and stretch to position equipment and fixtures while maintaining balance.
• Push or pull heavy objects of up to 16kg into position and participate in group lifts of 20kg or more.
• Coordinate body movements when using tools or equipment.
• Work with and/or around moving mechanical parts.
• Work in an office and warehouse environment where the noise level is low to moderate.
