Site Operations Leader, OMHS

As a Site Operations Leader within the OneMHS Installation & Deployment (I&D) team, you will serve as the central engineering coordinator for large-scale material handling equipment (MHE) installation projects in greenfield and brownfield Amazon fulfillment environments. You will work directly alongside installation teams on active construction sites, owning the project schedule and coordinating all on-site project teams, sub-team leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver complex MHE systems from equipment receipt through commissioning.

Your responsibilities include independently managing the project schedule, procurement workflows, equipment logistics, and budget administration for MHE installation projects ranging from $50M to $100M+ in scope. Working directly with mechanical installation leads, electrical installation leads, controls engineers, commissioning teams, and external MHE vendors, you will be the single-threaded owner for site-level coordination — ensuring all teams are aligned, resources are sequenced correctly, and the project stays on track.

This is a field-based engineering role embedded within active construction sites. You will operate in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where you proactively identify schedule risks, resolve inter-team dependencies, and drive continuous improvement in how Amazon deploys MHE systems at scale.

A typical day for a Site Operations Leader begins with the daily site coordination meeting, aligning mechanical, electrical, and controls teams on priorities and resolving any sequencing conflicts.

From there, you’re walking the active construction site - verifying material staging, checking that equipment deliveries match the schedule, and troubleshooting any gaps holding up installation crews.

Mid-day often involves vendor schedule reviews, Coupa procurement actions, and updating the project schedule with progress from each sub-team.

You close out by flagging risks in the D , coordinating nextday material needs, and ensuring every team has what they need to stay on track.

OneMHS (One Material Handling Systems) is Amazon's in-house program for designing, procuring, and installing material handling equipment across its fulfillment network. Rather than relying solely on external integrators, OneMHS brings the full lifecycle of MHE deployment under Amazon's direct control - from final engineering and equipment procurement through mechanical and electrical installation, controls integration, and commissioning. The program supports both greenfield builds and brownfield retrofits, deploying conveyor systems, sorters, induction systems, and robotic work cells MHS enables Amazon to deliver faster, more cost-effective installations while maintaining higher quality and safety standards.
