Mechanical Integration Lead, OMHS

Amazon is seeking a Mechanical Integration Lead to drive the successful installation, integration, and deployment of material handling equipment (MHE) across multiple greenfield and brownfield fulfillment center sites. This role provides hands-on mechanical engineering leadership in complex automation environments, ensuring projects meet Amazon's safety, timeline, cost, and quality standards. The Mechanical Integration Lead will directly manage mechanical installation crews deploying conveyor systems, sortation equipment, and associated structural systems across North America. Reporting to the Site Deployment Manager, you will lead sub-teams responsible for structural steel installation, conveyor prep and placement, mechanical connections and belting, side guide and netting installation, pneumatic systems, and mechanical quality control and commissioning. You will collaborate across engineering, supply chain, and operations to implement scalable solutions, resolve technical issues in the field, and deliver high-impact results across large, multi-site programs.

• Key job 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
• •Coordinate 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

• A day in the life
• As a Mechanical Integration Lead, you start your day with the site coordination meeting, reviewing progress against the installation schedule and identifying any material or sequencing issues with your crews. From there, you're on the construction
• floor — walking zones with your structural steel team verifying header hanger loads, checking that the conveyor prep and placement crew has the right sections staged, and ensuring the connections team is properly aligning and torquing hardware. You troubleshoot rigging challenges, coordinate with the Site Operations Leader on material deliveries, and validate that mechanical QC checks are passed before handing zones off to the electrical team. You close out by updating job plans, flagging risks for the daily business review, and planning tomorrow's crew assignments, ratios, and confirming proper routing around obstructions. You oversee wire pulling operations in active zones, ensuring proper cable sizing, bend radius compliance, and pull tension limits are respected. Mid-morning you inspect control panel placements, verifying mounting locations match drawings, checking clearance requirements, and confirming grounding connections. You validate junction box and disconnect installations, review wire terminations for proper torque values and labeling, and address any field conflicts that require engineering clarification. By afternoon, you're tracking installation progress against the schedule, coordinating with the device installation lead on upcoming zone handoffs, and documenting redlines for as-built updates. You close out at the daily business review with progress updates and flag any material or access risks for the next day.
