DescriptionApplication deadline: Sep 25, 2026Amazon is seeking an Electrical Installation Lead - Power Distribution & Infrastructure to drive the successful installation of electrical power systems for automation and material handling equipment across multiple greenfield and brownfield fulfillment center sites. This role provides field-based electrical installation leadership focused specifically on heavy wire pulls, power distribution infrastructure, conduit and raceway systems, control panel placement, and high-voltage terminations in complex industrial environments.

The Electrical Installation Lead - Power Distribution will directly manage installation crews responsible for all electrical infrastructure that feeds power to MHE systems. This includes conduit installation from Main Distribution Panels (MDPs) to sub-panels and equipment, cable tray routing, heavy wire pulling (480V 3-phase), control panel placement, disconnect installation, junction box and pull box placement, grounding systems, and wire terminations. You will ensure all power distribution work is executed safely, in compliance with

NEC/NFPA

codes, and to Amazon's quality and schedule standards.

This role reports to the Site Deployment Manager and works in close coordination with the Low Voltage Devices & Controls lead — your team must complete power infrastructure in each zone before device installation crews can mobilize. This sequencing makes schedule discipline and quality critical to overall project success.

You walk the floor with your conduit crew — verifying raceway runs from MDPs to sub-panels against engineering drawings, checking conduit supports and fill 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.

About the teamOneMHS (One Material Handling Systems) is Amazon's in-house program for designing, procuring, and installing material handling equipment across its fulfillment network. Rather than relying solely on external integrators, OneMHS brings the full lifecycle of MHE deployment under Amazon's direct control — from final engineering and equipment procurement through mechanical and electrical installation, controls integration, and commissioning. The program supports both greenfield builds and brownfield retrofits, deploying conveyor systems, sorters, induction systems, and robotic work cells at scale. OneMHS enables Amazon to deliver faster, more cost-effective installations while maintaining higher quality and safety standards.
