Job 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.

Key job responsibilities include:

• 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, closely tracking 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, Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) plays a crucial role in keeping our people mentally and physically well at work. Our team works with managers, associates and local governments across our sites, making sure we’re complying with Amazon’s policies and legal regulations, and that our workplaces are safe.
