RME Mechatronics Apprentice - Launch Your Engineering Career with Amazon

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 keep vital machinery running at all times. As an RME Mechatronics Apprentice, you’ll maintain a wide range of equipment and work spaces 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.

• Carry out proactive and preventative maintenance
• Carry out reactive repairs and fault diagnosis in a live distribution warehouse
• Use the latest tools to maximise equipment effectiveness
• Make modifications and upgrades to existing equipment
• Uphold health and safety policies and practices
• Work 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, investigate and implement solutions quickly, and suggest long‑term improvements. Your experience will span CAD design, 3D printing, general site maintenance and key distribution equipment repair.

At Amazon we value curiosity and learning. In this apprenticeship you’ll have the chance to learn by doing, putting newfound knowledge into practice every day. Our coaching, development opportunities, and challenging 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.

During 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 at one of our training facilities or at our own world‑class Amazon training centres. If you live outside a commutable distance, accommodation will be provided during term time and travel expenses supported.

In later years you will combine block‑release study for an HNC in Engineering or Mechatronics with on‑the‑job training at fulfillment, sortation or delivery sites. You’ll support our 24/7 operation in shifts 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 are committed to creating an inclusive environment…
