DESCRIPTION

Keeping our people safe and well at work is a top priority at Amazon. Our Safety Technicians play an essential role in making this happen. This role is an opportunity to start your career in workplace safety and develop through a global company. You'll work closely with our experts to monitor your site, which means you'll get to see the difference that you make to people's well-being every day.
- Flexibility on hours worked to cover shifts and escalations as required

Key job responsibilities
Carry out risk assessments and audits
Monitor the site to make sure processes are in line with Amazon's safety procedures
Create and update reports on safety metrics for colleagues to review
Work with colleagues in Operations and across the business on safety-related tasks and offer guidance on processes
Support in putting new safety measures in place

A day in the life
You'll be based at one of our sites. This means that you can closely track what's happening and people can easily ask you any questions throughout their shifts. This role is all about spotting potential issues before they happen. You'll spend a lot of time checking the site and getting to know the way that people use equipment. By understanding how every task and machine works, you'll be able to think about the best way to keep processes safe.

You'll also be one of the people to put safety changes into action, which means you'll get to work closely with lots of people. Alongside your daily and weekly tasks, you'll offer support to our Operations team on ad-hoc safety-related work.

Safety is so important to Amazon, and you'll help us gather the vital data that keeps us on top of our processes and ahead of any issues. You'll also share that data with people across the business and work with other teams to make sure they're putting safety first

About the team
Amazon Logistics, or AMZL, handles 'last mile' delivery duties in partnership with third-party distribution businesses. We utilise creative thinking and continuous improvement initiatives to get millions of physical products into the hands of our customers. Our goal is to make our customers' delivery experience as smooth as possible and roll out global delivery solutions for our newest concepts, like Amazon Fresh, Prime Now and Amazon Restaurants.

There are two sides to what we do. Our 'under the roof' associates process millions of products for dispatch to our delivery teams. Our team is people-focused and supportive, particularly as lots of our people work through the night. We focus mostly on operations, with 24/7 shifts in most of our locations.

Meanwhile, our 'on the road' people work with Amazon Flex - a network of delivery contractors. Every year, we continually raise the bar for customer experience with new, innovative delivery services. We look for new ways to overcome industry wide logistics challenges and new ideas to reduce our carbon footprint, supported by a portfolio of cutting-edge vehicles (including Electric Vehicles) and technology to help us do just that.
