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.
