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 will maintain a wide range of equipment and work spaces while upholding Health and Safety best practices. You will learn to keep colleagues safe, prevent machine downtime, and boost equipment availability and quality.

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 PLC operations.

As part of our team, you’ll respond promptly to breakdowns, investigate and implement solutions quickly, and suggest long‑term improvements. You’ll also work with CAD design, 3D printing, and general site maintenance and repair of key distribution equipment.

Here at Amazon, learning and curiosity are in our nature. Through hands‑on training, coaching, and development opportunities, you’ll reach new heights and unlock your full potential.

Throughout 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 based at a training provider or Amazon training centre. If you live outside of a commutable distance, accommodation will be provided during term time. In later years you will blend day or block‑release study for your HNC in Engineering or Mechatronics with on‑the‑job training at a Fulfilment Centre, Sortation Centre, or Delivery Station.

You will support our 24/7 operation in shift patterns that reflect real‑world engineer schedules.

You’ll join a diverse and passionate team of engineers dedicated to driving results and pushing creative boundaries. We value different perspectives, foster inclusive communities, and provide career‑advancing resources.

This apprenticeship trains you for maintenance roles such as mechatronic maintenance technician, maintenance engineer, mechanical fitter, and electrical engineer. With progression opportunities within the RME team and across Amazon, this could be the start of an exciting and rewarding career.
