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.

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 will learn to keep your colleagues safe, prevent machine downtime, and boost the availability and quality of our equipment, enhancing the operational environment.

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 will 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, find, and implement solutions quickly. You will 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.

During the apprenticeship, you will work towards an Advanced Apprenticeship in Engineering, combining practical, on‑the‑job experience with industry‑recognised study. You will work towards achieving both a Pearson BTEC Level 3 Certificate in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering and an ETA Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Engineering. The three‑year programme spans a mix of training partner academic learning on one day per week and hands‑on experience at Amazon Fulfilment Centres, Sortation Centres, or Delivery Stations.

You will support our 24/7 operation in shift patterns covering days, nights, and weekends that reflect the real‑world schedules of engineers who keep Amazon operating around the clock.

You will 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.

Original certificates or certified copies must be submitted by 31 July 2026.
