Fulfilment Centre Associate Review

I am an essential link in the chain as Fulfilment Associate, working within a team to help the organisation work as a well-oiled machine. I am a Picker at Amazon EMA1 who is part of a much larger process, including warehousing, shipping and inventory management, to achieve excellent customer results.

I can now perform roles and responsibilities as an Outbound Problem Solve Associate, solving problems with products before they reach the customer. This is a significant role within the department because all customer shipments need to be reviewed before they get on the trailer in the Outbound docks.

I enjoyed the interaction between fellow aspiring Supply Chain Warehouse Operatives and the support, guidance and mentoring by our Trainers at Babington. I am proud to say that I took part in this program with Babington to work towards achieving my goal of being a Warehouse Operative.

Activities are clearly stated, but the learning must be more detailed, with clear evidence of how the learning should be conducted and how the learner's notes should be taken. Still, the structure of this programme is well-guided and contributes to a positive impression on me as a learner.

I work closely with my Team Leaders and Line Managers at Amazon EMA1 to balance Off-The-Job hours and time worked on processes within my department. Amazon allows me 20% Off-The-Job hours each week to work on assignments, projects and tasks for my apprenticeship.

My trainer, is motivated and driven. I feel the support and his commitment to helping me achieve. Scott has taught me to aspire to greatness, believe in myself and my abilities, and continue improving my skills and chasing knowledge to remain an asset.

I am now confident in my knowledge of my responsibilities covering safety, customer obsession, ownership, diving deep and maintaining high standards throughout my apprenticeship and the processes in my work department at Amazon EMA1.

There are paid volunteer opportunities at Amazon EMA1 local to the site during shift work hours for Amazon associates. At Christmas, I was paid to volunteer for Charity work as Bow Bear for the Rainbows Children's Hospice Loughborough during the Rainbows Santa Run!

The apprenticeship has been challenging, but the Babington team has reached new heights! I am proud of each one of our trainers for never giving up and supporting all of us apprentices at Amazon EMA1. The work ethic that I saw from each of the trainers was terrific.

Before applying to Babington, familiarise yourself and research the apprenticeship and Babington as an organisation. Feel free to ask Babington questions if you need help understanding what is on offer for the apprenticeship of your choice.
