A Day in the Life
Our RME Technicians are based on-site, so they can respond quickly to any machinery issues. You’ll carry out a range of planned preventative maintenance to our sites’ equipment to make sure it’s working safely. You’ll respond promptly to breakdowns, investigate, find, and implement solutions as quickly as possible. You’ll also make suggestions for long-term improvements. Working alongside senior colleagues, you’ll undertake day‑to‑day maintenance tasks and liaise with contractors if external expertise is required. You’ll work a variety of shifts to keep our sites supported around the clock, allowing Amazon delivery at speed.
About The Team
The RME team keeps our equipment performing at its best. We are a technically minded group of excellent team players guided by experienced leaders. We work together to maintain, troubleshoot and repair equipment across Amazon’s global network of fulfilment centres. Some of our people are leaders, who oversee the team as they work on exciting technology – some of which exists only at Amazon. From installing automated packaging systems to overseeing general maintenance of a site to repairing key distribution equipment, we handle most aspects of Amazon’s technical side. This includes keeping buildings legally compliant so everyone is safe, and ensuring our sites operate at maximum efficiency. There are many opportunities for progression, both within the RME team and across Amazon. Everything we do focuses on reducing downtime so customers get their orders on time. We often work early or late hours to carry out maintenance with minimal disruption, including night shifts. If we spot a better way to do something, we have the skills and opportunity to develop and introduce completely new processes or cutting‑edge tech such as Amazon Robotics and our Complex Item Sorter.
