About The Team
Our Reliability Maintenance Engineering (RME) team keeps equipment performing at its best. We are a technically minded team, made up of excellent team players and guided by experienced leaders. We work together to maintain, troubleshoot and repair equipment across our global network of fulfilment centres. Some team members are leaders who oversee the team as they work on exciting technology unique to Amazon.
From installing automated packaging systems to overseeing general maintenance of a site and repairing key distribution equipment, our team handles most aspects of Amazon’s technical side. This includes keeping buildings legally compliant, ensuring safety, and maintaining maximum site efficiency. There are opportunities for progression within the RME team and across Amazon.
Everything we do focuses on reducing downtime in Amazon’s crucial operations sites, so customers receive orders on time. We may work during early or late hours to carry out maintenance with minimal disruption, including night shifts.
