RME Mechatronics Apprentice - Launch Your Engineering Career with Amazon
This role focuses on those who have military experience and/or are military spouses/children interested in working in the private sector.

Amazon’s military recruiting team is available to discuss the many opportunities within Amazon. At Amazon, thousands of former military are driving innovation and raising the bar on customer experience.

Fascinated by the mechanics behind automated systems? Want to master both electrical and mechanical engineering while working with cutting-edge technology? Amazon is the perfect place to launch your engineering career in Mechatronics Maintenance.

As one of the world's most advanced technology-driven companies, we are powered by automation, robotics, and continuous innovation. From cutting-edge robotic arms to complex conveyor networks and smart sensor technology, you will work with the systems that keep millions of customer orders moving. This apprenticeship gives you the chance to become a multi-skilled maintenance technician in both electrical and mechanical disciplines, gaining hands-on experience with industry-leading equipment that will shape your future in engineering.

The Reliability Maintenance Engineering (RME) team at Amazon is fundamental to our operations – they're the ones keeping vital machinery running at all times. As an RME Mechatronics Apprentice, you'll maintain a wide range of equipment and workspaces while upholding Health and Safety best practices. You'll learn to keep your colleagues safe and prevent machine downtime, boosting the availability and quality of our equipment and enhancing the operational environment. You'll work with exciting technology – some of which only exists at Amazon.

Your role will cover a broad range of activities including installation, testing, fault finding, and ongoing planned maintenance of complex automated equipment.

Key job responsibilities

• Carrying out proactive and preventative maintenance
• Carrying out reactive repairs, and fault diagnosis in a live distribution warehouse.
• Using the latest tools to maximise equipment effectiveness
• Making modifications and upgrades to existing equipment
• Upholding health and safety policies and practices
• Working on continuous improvement projects.

We're looking for people who stay calm when things don't go to plan and tackle challenges with a get-things-done approach. If you love being around machines and understand the importance of keeping production lines running smoothly, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Throughout your apprenticeship, you'll learn valuable skills including fault diagnosis, preventative maintenance, fluid power systems assembly and testing, mechanical device maintenance, electrical equipment wiring and testing, hydraulics and pneumatics, and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) operations.

As part of our team, you'll respond promptly to breakdowns, investigating, finding, and implementing solutions quickly. You'll also make suggestions for long-term improvements. From CAD design, 3D printing, to overseeing general site maintenance and repairing key distribution equipment, our team handles most aspects of Amazon's technical operations.

Here at Amazon, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Within this apprenticeship you’ll have the opportunity to learn by doing, putting newfound knowledge into practice every day. Our first-class coaching, tailored development opportunities, and challenging, rewarding work will empower you to reach new heights. If you’re a curious learner eager to grow, this is your chance to unlock your full potential and build the future you envision.

Throughout the apprenticeship you will work towards an Advanced Apprenticeship in Engineering (Mechatronics Maintenance), combining practical, on-the-job experience with industry-recognised study. Your first 12 months will be a full-time residential programme based either at one of our external training provider facilities or at our own world-class Amazon training centres - reflecting our significant investment in developing state-of-the-art facilities for the next generation of engineers. If you live outside of a commutable distance, accommodation will be provided during term time for these first 12 months, and travel expenses will be supported. In later years you will combine day or block release study for your HNC in Engineering or Mechatronics with on-the-job training at one of our Fulfilment Centres, Sortation Centres, or Delivery Stations. You will learn directly from experienced technicians and engineers and gain exposure to real engineering projects. You'll support our 24/7 operation in shift covering days, nights and weekends in patterns that reflect the real-world schedules of engineers who keep Amazon operating around the clock.

You'll join a diverse and passionate team of engineers dedicated to driving results and pushing creative boundaries. We value different perspectives and experiences, and we're dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Our employee-led affinity groups including communities for women in tech, LGBTQ+ employees, and underrepresented minorities, foster a culture on inclusion that empowers us to be proud of our differences. These groups provide community, mentorship, and a platform for your voice to be heard. We’re committed to building a workforce that reflects the customers and communities we serve.
We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship, and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.

This apprenticeship trains you for a variety of maintenance roles such as mechatronic maintenance technician, maintenance engineer, mechanical fitter, and electrical engineer. With plenty of opportunities for progression both within the RME team and more widely across Amazon, this could be the start of an exciting and rewarding career.
