Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Specialist

ATS•Newark, NJ

1d•$35 - $44•Onsite

About The Position

What your day looks like You start by walking the production floor, listening for unusual sounds and scanning the CMMS for overnight alerts. A conveyor stalls—you isolate the root cause, dismantle the affected assembly, inspect components for wear, swap out a faulty part, calibrate the control instrument, and validate the fix with electrical and mechanical tests. Later, you schedule preventative maintenance, capture predictive data, and document the work so the maintenance history stays complete and useful. In the afternoon, you might turn a shaft on a lathe, clean up a surface on the grinder, or drill a precision mount to fabricate a quick-turn repair. If the job calls for it, you’ll weld a bracket, adjust a pneumatic circuit, or tune a hydraulic actuator. Throughout, you keep the area 5S-ready, follow safety procedures to the letter, and spot hazards before they become incidents. What you’ll do Perform mid to expert level corrective and preventive maintenance across mechanical, electrical, and control systems. Pinpoint failures by observing equipment in operation, disassembling as needed, inspecting/adjusting components, replacing defective parts, and verifying performance with functional tests. Source parts, supplies, and repair items; work independently to accepted industry standards. Operate machining tools (lathe, drill press, grinder, and more) to fabricate or restore components; perform welding when required. Maintain 5S standards and strong housekeeping practices. Lead and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance processes, results, and cost savings. Update work records and review CMMS histories to inform future maintenance decisions. Troubleshoot control systems—hardware, software, and configuration—until the issue is resolved. Use predictive maintenance technologies to gather and interpret equipment performance data. Mentor junior technicians, provide guidance to small teams, and take on advanced tasks as part of ongoing development. Pursue on‑the‑job learning and technical self‑study to advance your career. Follow all safety policies, procedures, and technical instructions; practice strong situational awareness and call out unsafe conditions or behaviors.
