A Day in the Life:
Our RME Technicians are based on site so they can respond quickly to any machinery problems. You will perform a series of planned preventive maintenance on our site equipment to ensure they are functioning safely. As a Technical RME, you will also respond promptly to breakdowns, investigating, finding and implementing solutions as quickly as possible. You will also make suggestions for long-term improvements. Working alongside more experienced colleagues, you will carry out daily maintenance tasks and liaise with contractors if you need external expertise. You may work in a variety of shifts to ensure our sites are supported 24 hours a day - allowing Amazon to deliver at the speed we are known for.
About the Team:
Our Reliability Maintenance Engineering or RME team keeps our equipment running at its best performance. We are a technical-minded team, composed of excellent team players and guided by experienced leaders. We work together to maintain, troubleshoot, and repair equipment in our global network of distribution centers. Some of our people are leaders, who supervise the team while working with exciting technology - some of which exist only at Amazon. From installing automated packaging systems to overseeing general site maintenance and repairing key distribution equipment, our team handles most of the technical aspects of Amazon. There are many opportunities for progression, both within the RME team and more broadly within Amazon. We work to reduce downtime on Amazon's crucial operation sites, so customers receive their orders on time. If we identify a better way to do something, we have the skills and opportunity to develop and introduce completely new processes or cutting-edge technologies.
