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 planned preventative maintenance to site equipment to ensure it operates safely. As an RME Technician, you’ll also respond promptly to breakdowns, investigate, find, and implement solutions as quickly as possible while suggesting long‑term improvements. Working alongside senior colleagues, you’ll undertake day‑to‑day maintenance tasks and liaise with contractors when external expertise is required. You’ll work a range of shifts to ensure our sites are supported around the clock, allowing Amazon to deliver at the speed we’re known forp>
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. From installing automated packaging systems to overseeing general site maintenance and repairing key distribution equipment, we handle most aspects of Amazon’s technical side. This includes keeping buildings legally compliant, keeping everyone safe, and operating sites at maximum efficiency. Opportunities for progression exist both within the RME team and across Amazon. Everything we do focuses on reducing downtime in Amazon’s crucial operations sites, so customers receive 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 the opportunity to develop and introduce new processes or cutting‑edge tech like Amazon Robotics and our Complex Item Sorter.
