Apply

At Amazon, were committed

to promoting a safe working environment and being the most

safety-centric company for every team member. If you are eager to

implement effective safety improvements, inform managers of compliance

issues and safety improvement opportunities, apply to join our team in

Amazon Operations as a Workplace Health and Safety Specialist (WHSS)!

You are provided extensive safety training and development as an entry

level WHSS towards becoming an exceptional safety leader.
This

role will require 100% on-site attendance located within one of our

Network Distribution Centers, and will not be a virtual - work from home

position.
At Amazon, we thrive in a dynamic and rapidly

evolving work environment, and our approach to safety is no exception.

Just like the organization itself, our Safety department operates with

agility and adaptability. As WHS Specialist, you will have the

invaluable opportunity to cultivate your own agility, learning to

swiftly adjust strategies, plans, and solutions to keep pace with

ever-changing business demands. You will effortlessly collaborate and

lead diverse functional teams and stakeholders across all levels of the

organization. Our guiding principles include embracing open-mindedness,

prioritizing customer satisfaction, fostering innovation, promoting

empowerment, leveraging advanced technologies, and fostering a strong

sense of camaraderie within our team. These principles are what drive

our WHS team to deliver cutting-edge fulfillment solutions.
You

may be wondering, what exactly is fulfillment? Fulfillment, in the

context of Amazon, refers to the process of completing and delivering a

customer's order from Amazon.com. It encompasses various stages such as

picking, packing, shipping, and delivering the order, all with the aim

of meeting or exceeding the customer's expectations.
To better

understand our operations, let's break down the workflow into three

major lanes: first mile, middle mile, and last mile.
First mile:

This is where the product is stored and made ready for picking when an

order is placed. It's the starting point of the fulfillment process.

Middle mile: In this stage, your order is sorted and prepared for

distribution to your specific area. It involves efficient logistics and

transportation to ensure your package reaches the next destination

smoothly.

Last mile: The last mile represents the final leg of the

journey, where the product is delivered right to your doorstep. This

step focuses on providing a seamless and convenient delivery experience

for our customers.

It's important to note that while these lanes may

have slight building variations depending on the specific fulfillment

center, one constant remains: our unwavering vision and dedication to

serving our customers.
We strive to continuously improve and optimize

our fulfillment processes to ensure customer satisfaction and exceed

their expectations. Here are the types of facilities in each mile

segment of fulfillment:
Fulfillment Centers (North America Customer Fulfillment - NACF Network)
Large facilities with many associates, that house goods, both big and

small (first-mile). These are the types of building that typically come

to mind when you hear fulfillment and may contain robotics technology or

house the products available when you shop Amazon.com!

Sort Centers (North America Sort Center - NASC Network)
Medium-sized facilities, localized close to larger markets, where goods

are sorted for delivery (middle-mile). These buildings receive packaged

orders and help the last-mile network deliver products on-time more

efficiently. Orders are sorted by zip code, region, and size. These

buildings operate most similarly to a regional post office or large

third-party logistics building.

Air Sites (Amazon Air Network),

Amazons dedicated Air network serving middle mile, located near or

within major airport hubs. These locations require additional security

clearances and background checks, managed by the local port authorities.

Delivery Stations (Amazon Logistics - AMZL Network)
Smaller

facilities with fewer associates, localized close to larger markets,

where goods are delivered directly to customers (last mile). This is the

last stop in the life of an order, where it is packed onto a delivery

truck before heading out to the customers address.

Locations and Placement:
This role will start between January 2024 and September 2024.

This position is not a corporate role. This is a full-time position

located in a fulfillment center, sort center, delivery station, or other

building within the Amazon Fulfillment Network.

This role will require the flexibility to relocate, as we prioritize

placing candidates based on business need. Candidates placement

preferences will be considered, and recruiters will do their best to

accommodate location placements. Relocation benefits will be offered for

those who qualify.
