Job Description:

The Reliability Maintenance Engineering (RME) team at Amazon is fundamental to our operations – they’re the ones keeping vital machinery running at all times. As an RME Technician, you’ll maintain a wide range of equipment and workspaces while upholding Health and Safety best practices. You'll help to keep your colleagues safe and prevent machine downtime. Our RME Technicians boost the availability and quality of our equipment and work to enhance the operational environment.

Key job responsibilities

1. Proactive and preventative maintenance tasks on a wide range of site equipment.
2. Carry out reactive repairs and fault diagnosis in a live distribution warehouse.
3. Use the latest tools to maximise equipment effectiveness.
4. Uphold all health and safety policies and practices.
5. Support the development and progression of on-site apprentices.
6. Work on continuous improvement projects and roll out best practices across a range of EU sites.

A day in the life

Our RME Technicians are based on-site, so they can respond quickly to any machinery issues. You’ll carry out a range of planned preventative maintenance to our sites’ equipment to make sure it’s working safely. As an RME Technician, you’ll also respond promptly to breakdowns, investigating, finding, and implementing solutions as quickly as possible. You’ll also make suggestions for long-term improvements.

Working alongside senior colleagues, you’ll undertake day-to-day maintenance tasks and will liaise with contractors if you need external expertise. You’ll work on a range of shifts to support our sites around the clock – enabling Amazon to deliver at the speed we’re known for.

About the team

Our Reliability Maintenance Engineering or RME team keeps our equipment performing at its best. We're a technically minded team, made up of excellent team players and guided by experienced leaders. We work together to maintain, troubleshoot, and repair equipment across our global network of fulfilment centres. Some of our team members are leaders, overseeing the team as they work on exciting technology – some of which is unique to Amazon.

From installing automated packaging systems to overseeing general maintenance and repairing key distribution equipment, our team handles most aspects of Amazon’s technical operations. This includes ensuring buildings are legally compliant, safe, and operating efficiently. There are many opportunities for progression within the RME team and across Amazon.

Our focus is on reducing downtime in Amazon’s critical operations sites to ensure timely customer deliveries. We often work during early or late hours, including night shifts, to perform maintenance with minimal disruption. If we identify better ways to operate, we have the skills and opportunities to develop and implement new processes or cutting-edge technologies like Amazon Robotics and our Complex Item Sorter.
