Job description

At Amazon, we have hundreds of facilities across Europe. They’re not just workplaces – they’re our hubs where teams meet and collaborate to make sure we’re always delivering the best we can for our customers. As a Reliability Maintenance Engineering (RME) Area Manager, you’ll bring together the elements that make our working environment as supportive and efficient as possible. Your focus will be to lead and mentor a team of expert technicians dedicated to equipment reliability.

Key job responsibilities

1. Support colleagues in site compliance with safety policies and procedures
2. Implement EU network standards, plan preventative maintenance and ensure technical availability
3. Collaborate with colleagues to collect and analyse data to improve processes
4. Deliver and support both site-based and network-level projects
5. Lead, support and mentor your team to develop their career

A day in the life

You’ll be based at one of our operational sites, which allows you to give practical guidance to your team and get a clear vision of what’s happening at your site. This involves collecting data and solving problems in a fast-paced environment. You’ll also have a chance to create an operational plan to make the site more productive and efficient. That will involve setting up new projects that improve everything from operational processes to equipment maintenance. After safety, the most important part of the role is leading your team and managing their performance and development, including organising additional training.

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

• Relevant experience as part of a maintenance team in an industrial or production environment that handles a variety of complex business processes
• Relevant experience in managing people in an engineering team
