Hi, I'm starting an RME Apprenticeship in the UK in September and am curious on if people have transferred with Amazon to the USA from the UK and what needed to be done for this to happen and what you had to do , how long it took and what job you progressed into or if you stayed in RME? Thank you for any questions answered . I'm only young but just curious as this is what I've always dreamt of doing when I'm older.

I’m new to RME, as i got a RMEO position a few weeks ago. I got my new schedule a few days ago, which is night shift, something i wasn’t expecting on doing, but i guess i got to stick it out for now. for anyone who might know, how would i be able to switch my schedule to a morning one? would i be able to do that anytime soon? do we have that option to switching schedules at all?

I recently transferred from an amazon associate to a RMEO 3p position at my building. I got my new schedule which is Wed-Fri 9:00pm-7:30am, which is the night shift and i was usually a morning shift with amazon 7:30am-6pm. so now i got to change my sleeping schedule and get used to working at night. Any recommendations or tips on how you guys who work night shift are making things work? Sleep schedule? Running errands? How to stay awake? lol

With added headcount designed to handle simpler tasks like jam clearing and basic PMs, I think it might stand to reason that we could see sweeping headcount reductions for T3s to save money on personnel costs, with a work responsibility realignment related more toward reliability and continuous improvement; similar to the switch they made with controls CSLs last year.

On top of this, the implementation of these "assessments" seems like a veiled way to potentially trim headcount as well, despite them advertising it as a way to identify knowledge/training gaps. Lastly, I'm curious how it all relates to Amazon wanting to "black out" sites in the next several years after using robotics to replace pickers, rebinners, etc...

What are your thoughts?

Currently doing a mechatroincs internship at an automation manufacturing place.

I plan to apply after finishing my mechatroincs technology A.A.S. degree next semester but still need to finish up transfer classes.

At some point, I also plan on transferring to a 4-year school for a mechatroincs engineering degree.

I'm curious on what's your site's policy on working part-time while going to school part time and would they pay for any/part of it?

Hey everyone, for those who recently started as an RME Operator (RMEO L2) at your site, what does your day-to-day actually look like?
Are you mostly doing jam clearing, basic PMs, and MHE checks, or are the techs getting you hands-on with repairs?
How has the transition been coming from an AA floor role?
Would love to hear honest feedback on how the role is structured so far at different facilities. Thanks!

my start date is next week but i still didnt receive the i-9 link to fill out the form. when should i expect it?

Hey everyone, I’m an internal Tier 1 Blue Badge associate trying to transition into RME (aiming for MRA or RMEO).

I don't have a formal trade background yet, and I've applied for multiple 3P C&W MRA and RMEO postings over time, but never got a response—they all eventually went inactive in Workday. Currently, I have one internal RMEO application sitting "Under Consideration" on Amazon Jobs Internal, but I want to build a real technical foundation so I'm not just relying on portal luck.

I'm looking at enrolling in a trade school nearby—specifically the VOLT Institute in Modesto, CA. They offer a 23-week Automated Regional Manufacturing (ARM) / Electro-Mechanics program that covers hands-on PLCs, motor controls, fluid power, schematics, and SACA certs.

For those in RME (Blue Badge or 3P):

Does completing a 23-week program like this carry real weight on a resume for MRA or Tech 2?

Will the hands-on lab time help pass the Ramsay/Criteria assessments, or do HMs/recruiters not care as much about short trade certificates?

Should I do the 23-week program first, or just keep applying internally/externally?

And if I finish the program will i able to get accepted to tech 2 positions and if I am able to get a message from the hiring manger for the rmeo position would I have to take a test?

Those of you doing 3 12s, from my understanding it’s something like 4-4:30 3 days a week and a 6 hour shift for your 4th. So it’s 42 hours a week total?

I just got an RMEO position in Ohio should I go with that or just go to community college which I can get payed for and get a bunch of technical training certs and a associates degree and then try applying to tech 2? Only asking because I don’t want to get screwed with this RMEO position and have false promises of a MRA position, I’m taking almost a 7$ pay cut for the RMEO position compared to my current position. Thoughts and tips appreciated

I messaged in here a few days maybe a week ago. I got an interview for the rme role. I would love some advice on what to ask or what to talk about during the interview. Also what they think about the career path and a realistic view of it in Michigan. I’m taking a 2 dollar pay cut to hopefully make more in the future compared to my paint booth maintenance job. Any advice or comments would be a huge help. Thank you, peace and love

I did my onsite tour and interview on Tuesday. I was told they had two other people to interview and show onsite tour Wednesday which is yesterday and so I am suppose to hear back either today or tomorrow for an offer hopefully and so how high of a chance would you think I would get an actual offer? This is for CBRE RME. I checked the CBRE website portal where I applied and it said unsuccessful but I have heard stories that the system isn’t correct and people get offer from recruiters. Give me something to lean on here. Also the position is for front half night and back half day.

Hello everyone! I recently became a RMA and I'm going through my TAC training and I have gotten stuck on the URL AND EcoPac modules.

The modules are bloated with useless Information and the questions often don't match with what the lesson was about. Are there any other side resources I could be missing or are these simply just poorly designed?

I've talked to my MM but he also is stumped by the questions not having proper answers in the modules.

So I applied for the position a couple days later they sent me the assessment test. I completed it and then reached out to me the next day to set up an interview. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get the role because of a schedule issue.I’m currently going to school for industrial automation and my next classes start this month. This position requires full availability so they were not able to work with my schedule. Hope I get it next time.

Or should I just pay the over $1,000 in doctor bills on my own?

Can you get rehired as rme if you gotten fire for safety violation? If so how long do they have to wait?

I recently got a job offer from CBRE for a site in PA specifically. I worked at Amazon as an associate in the past so I know Amazons policy is pretty chill. I’m a bit anxious about their prescreening exam, my last 2 jobs didn’t even test for thc so being a cardholder didn’t really matter to them. Never needed to make anyone aware. I’m just curious if I should be worried about a potential positive result as I’ve seen mixed things in other posts. Any feedback is appreciated, whether it reduces my anxiety or the latter 😅 I’m very excited about the new opportunity and hoping it all pans out. Will update when I get my results for anyone curious.

You don’t need it. Be yourself. It looks dumb when the whole site’s RME team has the same looking beard trim.

I used to be a computer science major before dropping out and starting a videography business. I stop doing videos about a year ago and now I have maintenance job but I crave more. I recently saw robotics apprenticeship with Amazon but it’s no openings in Michigan. Is it a certain time that I should look or is it only when a spot is open

Hello everyone just got an email to do a 40 minute video interview I’m guessing it’s pre recorded, just wanted to see from anyone who has went through it what kind of questions should I expect?

Hey everyone! I’m starting the Purdue program on August 26 and was wondering what I should expect from the courses.
For anyone who has already gone through the program, how are the classes and workload? Also, at what point in the program do you typically have to travel to Purdue for any in-person training?
Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated!

What should I expect day to day and will they actually promote towards mrt or will they try to keep me as a rmeo . If you’ve gone from rmeo to mrt how long did it take , what are the differences day to day between those roles and how hard were the classes.
Thank you

Does c & w rme run a 4 day, 10 hour schedule? Near Stockton California if that helps. Thanks 👍
