ATS•United States- Mapleton, IL

12d

About The Position

Step into a day where uptime depends on your expertise As our Lead Electro-Mechanical Reliability Technician, you begin by reviewing CMMS data, trending chronic faults, and planning proactive work. Minutes later, you’re deep in a PLC program isolating an intermittent I/O issue; by midday, you’re running vibration analysis and infrared thermography to validate a corrective plan; by afternoon, you’re mentoring a junior tech through a precision alignment, then closing the loop with documentation and a cost-savings summary from a recent CI initiative.

Requirements

Education: High school diploma or GED required. Associate degree with a technical focus plus 7 years of related industry experience; or 10 years of related industry experience.
Proficiency with predictive maintenance technologies (vibration analysis or laser interferometer operations), precision alignments, and maintenance of applicable process equipment.
Broad understanding of electrical, mechanical, fluid power, and control systems; able to analyze problems, develop alternatives, and execute repairs.
Comfort using hand and specialized tools appropriately.
Willingness to travel as needed.
