Mechanical Integration Lead, OMHS

About the role

The OMHS Installation & Deployment team supports the deployment and integration of automation and material handling systems across Amazon's operations network. The team works cross-functionally with engineering, construction, operations, supply chain, vendors, and field execution partners to deliver safe, scalable, and reliable systems.

Responsibilities

• Mechanical Installation Leadership:
• Directly manage and lead mechanical installation crews deploying MHE across North American facilities
• Oversee structural header steel installation including hanging steel, prebuilding supports, and anchoring to building structure
• Lead conveyor prep and placement operations — rigging, lifting, staging, and setting conveyor sections into final positions on installed supports
• Manage conveyor connections and belting crews — ensuring proper mechanical alignment, bed connections, squaring, leveling, and hardware tightening
• Direct side guide and netting installation ensuring proper alignment and tension
• Oversee belt crew operations including belting and lacing installation on aligned conveyor sections
• Manage pneumatic/air systems installation including air connections to conveyor components, pressure testing, and leak verification
• Collaborate with the logistics and receiving team to ensure materials are inventoried, staged, and distributed to work zones on schedule
• Quality Control & Commissioning:
• Lead mechanical QC and commissioning activities including alignment verification, hardware inspections, and match-mark verification
• Oversee conveyor run-in testing, belt tracking verification, and belt tension checks
• Manage mechanical punch list identification and repair
• Verify IOQ checks and ensure all mechanical systems meet specifications before handoff to electrical teams
• Ensure proper match-marking of nuts/bolts to verify tightness across all connections
• Technical Leadership & Standards:
• Provide mechanical engineering expertise for automation initiatives across assigned sites
• Implement technical solutions and lead project-level decisions within the mechanical scope
• Follow and help develop mechanical installation standards and best practices
• Create and maintain technical documentation including work instructions, installation SOPs, and QC checklists
• Participate in design reviews and drive mechanical engineering excellence
• Recommend and implement process improvements to increase installation efficiency and quality
• Project Execution & Coordination:
• Lead delivery of complex mechanical installation projects with multi-site impact
• Work cross-functionally with engineering, supply chain, and operations teams
• Coordinate with the electrical integration lead to ensure proper sequencing — mechanical work must be complete in each zone before electrical teams mobilize
• Manage relationships with mechanical vendors and partners
• Provide technical input to leadership for data-driven decision-making
• Drive achievement of safety, timeline, cost, and quality metrics across assigned zones
• Participate in daily business reviews with installation progress updates
