Team Leader Maintenance, for managers with a military background

The key to a leadership position in our logistics centers is the ability to lead a team to motivate and inspire employees, to set ambitious and achievable goals and then implement these goals together. Many time soldiers have gained such valuable experiences for years and Amazon now offers the opportunity to bring these experiences and knowledge into the economy.

Our maintenance and maintenance team (Reliability Maintenance Engineering Team or RME team) is the core of Amazon's commitment to innovation. Amazon continues to evolve and this team ensures that these are also the technologies and tools we use. As a senior RME Technician, you help us stay one step ahead of development. You use the latest technologies and identify new, efficient working methods. In this role, you look closely at our processes and help us follow and further increase our highest safety standards.

The site includes work in a rotating three-layer system, which can include Saturdays, night shifts and readiness to call. In addition, the logistics network in the region consists of several locations, which require assistance in case of emergency. Local flexibility and a certain readiness to travel (in the region) should be given accordingly. The logistics department at Amazon (AMZL) is responsible for the “Last-Mile logistics” – i.e. the delivery of our packages in partnership with third parties. We think creatively and implement initiatives for continuous improvement to deliver millions of physical products to our customers. Our goal is to make the delivery experience for our customers as smooth as possible and to introduce global delivery solutions for our latest offers, including Amazon Fresh, Prime Now and Amazon restaurants. These activities are carried out by two groups of employees. Our “internal” employees prepare millions of products for shipping to our delivery teams. Our team is human-oriented and helpful. This is particularly important because many of our employees work in night shifts. Our focus is mainly on operating. Most of our locations work around the clock. During the course, our “outside service” employees work with Amazon Flex – a contractor network for delivery. Every year we set new standards in terms of customer experience and offer new, innovative delivery services. We are looking for new ways to overcome industry-wide logistics challenges, as well as new ideas to reduce our carbon footprint. We support a fleet of innovative vehicles (including e-vehicles) and state-of-the-art technology.
