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 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 colleagues safe and prevent machine downtime, boosting availability and quality of equipment and enhancing the operational environment.

You will 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.

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, find, and implement solutions quickly. You will also make suggestions for long‑term improvements. From CAD design and 3D printing to general site maintenance and repairing key distribution equipment, our team handles most aspects of Amazon’s technical operations.

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 at an external training provider or at our own world‑class Amazon training centre, reflecting our investment in state‑of‑the‑art facilities. If you live outside a commutable distance, accommodation will be provided during term time and travel expenses supported.

In later years you will combine 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…
