Description
Amazon will hire 300 new employees at its site in Boves, near Amiens (Hauts de France region) to address capacity needs.
Following the completion of a first phase of robotisation of this site - which has been ongoing since April 2024 -, there is more place for stock, creating a need for more employees.
The recruitment will start in March and will be carried out in waves starting in March. The recruitment campaign is set to be completed in preparation for the festive season and the peak in activity.
