Amazon is seeking a Senior Site Process Engineer to join the EU Process Engineering team in an onsite, non-shift rotation role with extensive exposure to EU-level strategic initiatives.
This senior position operates in a high-ambiguity environment where you'll handle ambiguous initiatives where the problem/strategy may not be defined. You'll use your expertise and judgment to determine the right goals, inform decisions, manage stakeholder expectations, and design long-term solutions. The role offers significant scope expansion opportunities to lead local and EU-wide initiatives, coordinate multi-site programs, and mentor junior team members.
Key job responsibilities
Continuous Improvement & Data-Driven Decision Making:
- Lead process improvement initiatives by comparing site performance against network benchmarks
- Lead weekly performance reviews with site leadership, acting as the "Cost Champion" for the building
- Conduct deep dive analysis and present findings to senior leadership, converting insights into action plans
- Leverage AI and advanced analytics tools to provide granular insights and reduce cognitive workload for operations teams
Lean Transformation & Capability Building:
- Join daily operational reviews and Gemba walks with FC Leadership to identify waste and eliminate it together with ops teams
- Mentor and develop SMEs/SSMEs in operational excellence and Lean methodologies
- Lead Continuous Improvement initiatives (Kaizens/Kaikaku) autonomously
- Drive innovation by reviewing, scaling local initiatives, and implementing network best practices across the EU
EU Network Initiative Deployment:
- Own deployment of EU network initiatives assigned to the FC, ensuring timeline compliance
- Support FC commitment to pilots and tests, preventing delays across EU rollout
- Lead EU projects coordinating multiple sites
Partnership & Collaboration:
- Build strong relationships with Site Leader and Senior Management Team
- Support site management operational team during Q4 based on building needs
A day in the life
As a Site Process Engineer, your day begins with analyzing performance data from previous shifts, quickly identifying areas needing attention. You'll spend time on the Fulfillment Center floor, observing processes firsthand and connecting with associates to understand their daily challenges. One moment you might be brainstorming with your team about implementing a new robotics solution, the next you could be leading a workshop helping operations leaders adopt best practices. Your problem-solving skills come into play as you tackle real-time challenges, while your afternoons often involve collaborating with colleagues across Europe to share insights and align on network-wide improvements. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to innovate in one of the world's most advanced logistics networks.
