DESCRIPTION
At Amazon, we’re committed to maintaining a safe working environment and being the most maintenance-centric company. If you are eager to lead maintenance initiatives and engineering efficiency, apply to join our team in Reliability, Maintenance, and Engineering (RME)!
This is a ten-week internship (40 hours per week) during the summer of 2025.
This role will require 100% on-site attendance located within one of our Network Distribution Centers, and will not be a virtual - work from home position.
As an Area Maintenance Manager Intern, you will have the opportunity to own your impact by learning how to lead a team of maintenance and cross-functional associates while promoting a safe and efficient working environment on-site at one of Amazon’s nationwide Fulfillment Centers. Ensuring smooth processes at your site will directly impact our Operations teams ability to deliver for our customers.
During your internship you will learn from site Area Maintenance Manager(s), dive into standard work, innovation, and continuous improvement through a metric-impacting intern project. Most projects are rooted in engineering process improvement and in the past have included creating operator based preventative maintenance initiatives, equipment performance and efficiency statistical analyses, and maintenance process mapping. We strive to continuously improve and optimize our fulfillment processes to ensure customer satisfaction and exceed their expectations. Here are the types of facilities in each mile segment of fulfillment:
• Fulfillment Centers (North America Customer Fulfillment - NACF Network)

• Sort Centers (North America Sort Center - NASC Network)
o Medium-sized facilities, localized close to larger markets, where goods are sorted for delivery (middle-mile). These buildings receive packaged orders and help the last-mile network deliver products on-time more efficiently. Orders are sorted by zip code, region, and size. These buildings operate most similarly to a regional post office or large third-party logistics building.
o Air Sites (Amazon Air Network), Amazon’s dedicated Air network serving middle mile, located near or within major airport hubs. These locations require additional security clearances and background checks, managed by the local port authorities.
