Workplace Health and Safety Specialist Intern East

3 weeks ago

Brampton, Canada Amazon Canada Fulfillment Services, ULC. Full time

Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree with an expected completion date between December 2024 and August 2025

**Job Summary**:
At Amazon, we’re committed to promoting a safe working environment and being the most safety-centric company for every team member. As an intern, you will have the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of Amazon Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) practices. Your internship experience will involve a combination of safety-related projects and WHS organizational learning initiatives.

Throughout the program, you will learn how to effectively implement safety improvements, identify compliance issues, and recognize opportunities for safety enhancements at your assigned site. Working alongside various safety leaders and stakeholders, you will contribute to creating and maintaining a safe workplace within our Network Distribution Centers. Upon completing your internship, you will be required to present a safety research paper and share the findings of your project with the leadership team. This will allow you to demonstrate your understanding of safety principles and showcase your valuable contributions to promoting a culture of safety within Amazon.

This role will require 100% on-site attendance located within one of our Network Distribution Centers, and will not be a virtual - work from home position.

At Amazon, we thrive in a dynamic and rapidly evolving work environment, and our approach to safety is no exception. Just like the organization itself, our Safety department operates with agility and adaptability. As WHS Interns, you will have the invaluable opportunity to cultivate your own agility, learning to swiftly adjust strategies, plans, and solutions to keep pace with ever-changing business demands. You will effortlessly learn how to collaborate and lead diverse functional teams and stakeholders across all levels of the organization. Our guiding principles include embracing open-mindedness, prioritizing customer satisfaction, fostering innovation, promoting empowerment, leveraging advanced technologies, and fostering a strong sense of camaraderie within our team. These principles are what drive our WHS team to deliver cutting-edge fulfillment solutions.

To better understand our operations, let's break down the workflow into three major lanes: first mile, middle mile, and last mile.
- First mile: This is where the product is stored and made ready for picking when an order is placed. It's the starting point of the fulfillment process.
- Middle mile: In this stage, your order is sorted and prepared for distribution to your specific area. It involves efficient logistics and transportation to ensure your package reaches the next destination smoothly.
- Last mile: The last mile represents the final leg of the journey, where the product is delivered right to your doorstep. This step focuses on providing a seamless and convenient delivery experience for our customers.

It's important to note that while these lanes may have slight building variations depending on the specific fulfillment center, one constant remains: our unwavering vision and dedication to serving our customers. We strive to continuously improve and optimize our fulfillment processes to ensure customer satisfaction and exceed their expectations. Here are the types of facilities in each mile segment of fulfillment:

- Sort Centers (North America Sort Center - NASC Network)
- Medium-sized facilities, localized close to larger markets, where goods are sorted for delivery (middle-mile). These buildings receive packaged orders and help the last-mile network deliver products on-time more efficiently. Orders are sorted by zip code, region, and size. These buildings operate most similarly to a regional post office or large third-party logistics building.
- Air Sites (Amazon Air Network)
- Amazon’s dedicated Air network serving middle mile, located near or within major airport hubs. These locations require additional security clearances and background checks, managed by the local port authorities.
- Delivery Stations (Amazon Logistics - AMZL Network)o Smaller facilities with fewer associates, localized close to larger markets, where goods are delivered directly to customers (last mile). This is the last stop in the life of an order, where it is packed onto a delivery truck before heading out to the customer’s address.

**About the Program**:

- The summer term is full-time (40 hours a week) and lasts 10 weeks during the summer of 2024 (Colleges and Universities where 12 weeks are required for graduation will work directly with a recruiter if extended an offer). Start dates are offered in May and June.
- As a part of the Workplace Health and Safety Specialist (WHS) internship program, you will learn how to improve the safety and efficiency of our work style processes.
- Onboarding will include OSHA10, First Aid/CPR/AED certification, technical writing and intro to project management training.
