Jessica

RME Technician | Peterborough, UK

Jess’s Amazon career began when she joined the Apprentice program. After three years of study, she received her qualification and became an RME technician in the fulfillment center in Peterborough, England.

“Completing the apprenticeship and my HNC qualification has been my biggest achievement at Amazon. It really allowed me to come out of my shell and gave me confidence, not only in my work, but also with the people I work with.”

Jess and her team maintain the equipment to ensure the site keeps running. They’re responsible for attending breakdowns and faultfinding to reduce downtime, performing predictive and preventative maintenance to prevent the equipment from deteriorating, and performing general building maintenance.

The job can be fast-paced, so Jess advises being prepared to think on your feet and find the most beneficial solutions for both your team and customers.
