About This Role
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation
of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the
cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage,
networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have
continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging
problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re
looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply
chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles.
You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest
standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at
the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive
culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Logistics specialists play a vital role in the success of Amazon Web Services by
providing the right part, in the right place at the right time. Your
contribution to this success would be maintaining the onsite parts room in AWS
Data Centres, by managing the custody of computer hardware through their entire
lifecycle. This involves receiving parts, safely storing parts, picking and
delivering parts to hardware technicians, cycle counts, and shipping faulty
hardware back to the vendor.
You will work closely with Data Centre Operations and Engineering teams to
ensure reliable functioning and repair activities to support our customers,
while adhering to our operational tenants of safety, security and availability.
Maintaining inventory levels to ensure that stock items are available to support
build and repair activities.
