If you’re driven by passion, ready for a career pivot, or eager to launch a professional adventure that both challenges and inspires, Amazon can offer you the perfect launchpad., Your responsibilities will include:

• Installation, testing and commissioning of new automated equipment

Throughout the apprenticeship program, you will work towards an Advanced Apprenticeship in Engineering (Mechatronics Maintenance), gaining both practical, on-the-job experience and earning industry-recognized qualifications.

As a result, you may be required to work away from home Monday to Friday each week during term time (costs will be supported by Amazon), combined with short periods working at one of our operations warehouses. Subsequent years will comprise day or block release training at a specialist college where you will study for an HNC in Engineering/Mechatronics, and on-the-job training in a Fulfilment/Sortation Centre or Delivery Station among our team of technicians and engineers.

To be successful in this role, you should have a genuine passion for engineering and technology, good problem-solving abilities, and the motivation to work both independently and as part of a team. Previous experience is not essential, as comprehensive training will be provided.

This is a unique opportunity to build a rewarding career, working on complex, high-value equipment in a fast-paced, safety-critical environment. If you are ready to take the first step, we would love to hear from you.
