2023 Area Maintenance Manager Intern - Engineering Majors Encouraged

This is a ten-week internship (40 hours per week) during the summer of 2023.

Are you looking to become a leader in a global operation that has hundreds of leaders and thousands of employees? Would you like the challenge of delivering continuously improved customer experiences to millions and millions of customers? Could you assume financial responsibility that influences both the bottom line and shareholder expectations for a growing Fortune 100 corporation? If you want to be involved in continuing to define the future of online retail and are dynamic and an organized self-starter, join our team in Amazon Operations as an area maintenance manager intern!

As an area maintenance manager intern, you will have the opportunity to own your impact by learning to lead a team of maintenance and cross-functional associates to create a safe and efficient working environment in one of Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Ensuring smooth processes at your site will directly impact the ability of our Operation’s team to get products to our customers. Additionally, during your internship you will dive into standard work, innovation and continuous improvement through an intern project. Most projects are rooted in process improvement and in the past have included creating operator based preventative maintenance initiatives, equipment performance and efficiency statistical analyses, and maintenance process mapping. Come learn how the largest online retailer in the world runs its fulfillment and delivery networks!

What is fulfillment you ask? Fulfillment is how we refer to completing or fulfilling a customer’s Amazon.com order and the acts of picking, packing, shipping and delivering their order to meet or exceed their expectations! Our Operation’s workflow can be broken three major lanes: first mile - where the product is housed and ready for your order; second mile - where your order is hauled to your area; and last mile - when the product is delivered to your door. Please note that all lanes have slight building variations, but one thing is constant, our vision and dedication to the customer.
