Darlington, United Kingdom Amazon UK Services Ltd. Full time
At Amazon, we need talented and experienced individuals to help us operate safely and efficiently. As a Workplace, Health and Safety (WHS) Manager, your role is key to driving improvements on-site and at a regional level. You’ll help your colleagues maintain high standards, all while driving a culture of safety and inclusivity on your site.

Key job responsibilities
- Manage your team on-site, whilst regularly collaborating with other teams across the company
- Use internal reporting tools to analyse data reports and root causes that provide leadership with the information they need to make safety related decisions
- Provide guidance and arrangements for health and safety projects and policies
- Drive programmes designed to improve the safety culture in Amazon.

A day in the life
This is an extremely varied role based at one of our sites, allowing you to directly contribute to many aspects of our safety culture. You will manage health and safety standards while improving functionality and efficiency. You’ll also manage your team and help them implement changes in response to employee feedback or seize opportunities to continuously make process improvements.

Your role is instrumental in keeping employees safe, managing their satisfaction, and supervising their wellbeing and productivity. You’ll step in and take ownership of health and safety to foster a culture that revolves around operating safely.

About the team
Customer Fulfilment, or CF, is where it all started for Amazon. CF has scaled up from a humble team of booksellers to a sophisticated global team which handles more than 1.5 million orders every day. The team is the foundation of our business and its efforts have helped us diversify across new regions and services. With the help of emerging technology, we’re always looking for ways to offer a bigger, better product range – delivered quickly and affordably.

The CF team are the first people in the chain that helps customers get products at the speed we’re known for. We’re based in Fulfilment Centres, which are at the heart of Amazon’s fast-paced Operations network. Our centres are sometimes referred to as the ‘First Mile’ because it’s where most Amazon packages start their journey. We help to manage dynamic inventory and facilitate speedy deliveries round the clock.

Lots of different people work in our Fulfilment Centres, so there are plenty of opportunities for every skillset. Some of us work with physical products, while others analyse data to help everyone across the business make smart decisions.
