Description

Are you ready to be the face of Amazon Transportation? As a Fleet Asset Specialist, you will be a vital member of Amazon Transportation Services. The Fleet Asset Specialist will manage the maintenance activities and maximize value of Amazon’s growing transportation fleet.

Responsibilities will include maintenance planning, decision making about when repairs and maintenance activities are required, managing third party onsite and offsite repair execution, and maximizing equipment uptime.

This job will require exceptional communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work independently.

Fleet Asset Specialists will have responsibility for multiple adjacent locations that make up a node.

Specialists will be sensitive to the facility and ultimately our customer. Specialists will have oversight from both a Transportation Operations Manager and the Fleet team. Other responsibilities associated with this role will include:

• Execute the daily standard work necessary to manage equipment within a node, including inspecting equipment, creating repair requests, monitoring repair execution, ensuring on-time preventive maintenance, managing campaigns and recalls, and maintaining unit history (e.g., for washes, warranties, registrations)
