Danny W.Reliability and Maintenance Technician | Dunstable, UK Danny's Amazon career started in 2016 when he joined the Apprentice program. After three years of study, he received his qualification in 2019 and became an RME Technician based at a Fulfillment Center in Luton, UK. He applied for the program because engineering runs in his family. Danny's proudest moment came in March 2020. Because shops were closed and people were working from home due to the pandemic, Amazon experienced increased demand beyond what we would normally see during the holidays. Danny stepped up and managed the operation of a section of the FC, overseeing another apprentice. Together they ensured machines were running smoothly and output wasn't impacted. |

Kayleigh B.RME Technician | Bolton, UK Kayleigh is a valued member of our Reliability and Maintenance Engineering team, and a champion of Amazon’s commitment to hiring and developing talented female engineers. She works as an RME Technician at our Fulfillment Center in Bolton. “Before joining Amazon, I spent nine years in the Royal Navy as an Aircraft Engineering Technician. My time was spent carrying out maintenance on helicopters, preparing and planning resources to make sure equipment was serviced and available prior to deployment." She's passionate about supporting and mentoring less experienced team members. During her time in the Navy, she led a team of junior engineers in carrying out training and giving guidance. At Amazon, Kayleigh is proud to be a mentor to Mechatronics Apprentices, a four-year qualification designed to support people looking to pursue a career within Engineering. “I have an empathetic personality,” she says, “and it isn't just ‘hands-on’ guidance on doing the job that our Apprentices need. I enjoy being able to support them with valuable workplace skills, such as finding the confidence to speak up, as well as suggesting ideas. I'm passionate about encouraging female engineers to join the industry.” Kayleigh also enjoys getting involved with hiring-related events, such as Military CV workshops, to give fellow forces leavers an insight on what life in RME is like, and supporting with job applications and interview tips. |
