Operations is at the heart of everything Amazon does, and reliability is one of the ways we optimise our processes. The Amazon Reliability Maintenance and Engineering team keeps all our equipment in excellent working order, from printers to fully automated sortation systems.
As a Electrical Infrastructure Reliability Manager, you'll have a proven track record of improving the reliability of electrical systems, via maintenance commissioning and inspection programs. You’ll make sure that our automated systems are able to work at their best so that our customers get their orders on time. By exploring data on everything from control systems to sensors, you’ll minimise EU wide downtime due to power outages. Prior experience in any RME capacity at an Amazon FC/SC/DS site is valuable. German, Italian, Spanish or French language proficiency is considered a preferred qualification.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead Power Resilence improvement workstreams involving multiple internal teams: central engineering teams and site teams including operational leadership, maintenance and safety
- Manage vendor relationships and conduct technical review of vendor deliverables for accuracy, completeness, and compliance
- Deliver regular status reports and executive-level briefings to senior stakeholders across engineering, operations, and safety functions
- Be capable of being a subject matter expert in electrical distribution (LV, MV and HV) for site auditing, root cause analysis and problem resolution.
- Lead end-to-end Power System Studies, including data collection, modelling, technical review of vendor deliverables, on-site implementation of findings, lessons learned.
- Evaluate commissioning, maintenance, and testing documentation for key electrical assets (e.g., transformers, switchgear) to identify risks, verify compliance, and support data-driven maintenance decisions.
- Ensure full compliance with EU electrical safety standards and regulations (BS 7671, local EU statutory requirements).
- Apply deep knowledge of electrical operational risks, including arc flash hazards, to develop and implement effective mitigation strategies, safe systems of work, and engineering controls
- Leverage data and analytics to support evidence-based decisions on asset reliability and program prioritization
- Support annual budgeting cycles and planning
A day in the life
You will identify status trends, and assess audit findings related to electrical and associated risks & drive corrective actions EU wide, through structured problem-solving and root cause analysis and serve as the connective tissue between engineering teams, site-based RME teams, vendors, and senior stakeholders. You will lead end-to-end execution of electrical programs from design through commissioning and ensure electrical safety, reliability, resilience, and sustainability standards are met across Amazon's European operations. Key internal stakeholders are D&C, RME, Operations, and Global Building Design.
