About the team
Our Reliability Maintenance Engineering or RME team keeps our equipment performing at its best. We’re 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 of our people are leaders who oversee the team as they work on exciting technology some of which only exists at Amazon.
From installing automated packaging systems to overseeing the general maintenance of a site to repairing key distribution equipment our team handles most aspects of Amazon’s technical side. This includes keeping buildings legally compliant so everyone is safe and our sites are operating at maximum efficiency. There are lots of opportunities for progression both within the RME team and more widely across Amazon.
Everything we do focuses on reducing downtime in Amazon’s crucial operations sites so customers get their orders on time. We often work during 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 the opportunity to develop and introduce completely new processes or cutting‑edge tech like Amazon Robotics and our Complex Item Sorter.
