Our buildings deliver tens of thousands of products to hundreds of countries worldwide, every day. The Reliability & Maintenance Engineering (RME) team are the business partners that work tirelessly behind the scenes to make it happen. We drive continuous improvement and maintain all the robotics and material handling equipment (MHE) to ensure our customers are met with the Amazon smile. Come join us on our journey!

About the Role:

As an Area Maintenance Manager, you will transform workplace environments by leading a dynamic maintenance team that ensures safety, efficiency, and operational excellence. In this critical role, you'll develop maintenance strategies, solve complex challenges, and create a supportive work culture that empowers technicians to perform at their best. You will blend strategic planning, hands-on problem-solving, and team leadership. You will navigate between managing preventative maintenance programs, coordinating with operations teams, and responding to emergencies that require quick, decisive action while also balancing proactive planning with real-time problem resolution.

Amazon offers competitive compensation packages including comprehensive healthcare benefits starting on Day 1, matching 401(k) program, and up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave.
