Standards and Innovation Senior Process Engineer, Latam Engineering

Description Amazon opened its virtual doors in 1995 and strives to be the world's most customer-centric company. The goal of Amazon Logistics is to build a world class last mile operation, ensuring that orders are delivered quickly, accurately, and cost effectively. The LATAM Engineering team is seeking an experienced, hands-on and customer obsessed Senior Process Engineer to own equipment development and standardization across our Last Mile delivery network. Sitting centrally in London, you will define and maintain equipment standards for Carts, Racks, Bags, Automation and MHE, driving parity across LATAM while acting as the bridge to WW engineering teams and other regions. Equipment you develop will always meet safety, customer experience, capacity, quality and cost goals. You will lead design, qualification and value engineering initiatives, partnering with country engineering teams, Operations, Safety and vendors. You will also work closely with your WW counterparts to benchmark performance and align on global standards. This position requires strong leadership, deep customer focus, strong autonomy and exceptional project management skills. It will involve regular communication with executors and project sponsors at both the country and WW level, and requires you to be detail-oriented and comfortable partnering across functional business and technical teams. To be successful in this role, you need to pair strong analytical skills and a data-driven outlook with strong intuition. This role will be based out of London and may involve occasional travel within Emerging Countries.
