Job description

DESCRIPTION:

Our Reliability Maintenance Engineering (RME) team is central to Amazon's commitment to innovation. As Amazon evolves and adapts, this team makes sure that the tools and technologies we use do as well. As a Senior RME Technician, you'll help us stay one step ahead, adopting the latest technologies and identifying new and efficient ways of working. In this role, you'll pay close attention to our processes to help maintain our high standards, and you'll put in place upgrades to take that standard even higher.

Key job responsibilities:

1. Demonstrate best practice on using equipment safely and monitor teams to ensure everyone follows the correct processes.
2. Keep track of equipment performance through visual checks, condition-based monitoring, and preventative maintenance tasks and schedule additional servicing when required.
3. Supervise technicians on shift to support their development and act as the first point of contact for Reliability Maintenance Engineers.
4. Solve issues in equipment to reduce downtime for operations so they can process packages as quickly as possible.
5. Support in finding ways to continually improve systems and standardise processes across the EU network.

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.

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.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

1. A full Engineering indentured Apprenticeship and/or qualified to a minimum of NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in a relevant Engineering subject.
2. Relevant experience in a technical leadership role.
3. Relevant experience working in both electrical and mechanical disciplines.
4. Relevant experience in automation or material handling equipment environments.
5. Advanced proficiency in verbal and written English.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

1. Experience working in a multi-contractor and multi-site working environment.
2. Understanding of PLC based controls systems and statutory compliance requirements.
3. Experience using computerised maintenance management systems to plan proactive maintenance and record reactive tasks.
4. A degree preferably in a technical discipline or operations.
