About The Position

ATS is a company with a presence in the United States, Mexico and the United Kingdom, founded in 1985. We are professionals in Industrial Maintenance and we make factories run better. This role involves performing expert-level break-fix and preventative maintenance on devices, observing operations to find root causes of problems, dismantling devices to access and remove defective parts, examining parts for imperfections, adjusting functional parts, repairing or replacing defective parts, testing devices for performance, and conducting tests for electrical circuitry and mechanical systems. The technician will also recondition and repair machine tools, identify and source necessary parts and supplies, evaluate alternatives to improve cost and reliability, and independently perform maintenance according to industry standards. Collaboration with customer counterparts to optimize maintenance, reliability, and preventative maintenance procedures is expected. The role may involve operating machining operations like lathe, drill press, grinder, and other metalworking tools, and potentially performing welding tasks. Adherence to customer contractor codes of conduct, housekeeping standards, and safety processes is required. Documentation of work performed in service reports and applicable management systems, including written explanations of observations and equipment performance data, is essential. The technician will assist lower-level technicians, provide leadership to project teams, and perform expert functions as part of training and development. Troubleshooting and analyzing complex control systems for software/hardware and configuration problems, utilizing advanced maintenance technologies to collect equipment performance data, observing trends, and making recommendations are also key responsibilities. The role includes completing and conducting on-the-job training and technical self-study programs for career development, and strictly following all safety-related policies, rules, regulations, technical instructions, and guidelines, while maintaining situational awareness to identify unsafe behaviors and conditions.
