Job Description

What a Day Looks Like

You start your shift by checking the CMMS to review open work orders and recent history. A production line needs attention, so you perform break-fix tasks and scheduled preventive maintenance, fine-tuning device components and control instruments to keep everything running smoothly. If a part is worn, you repair or replace it; if a tool needs reconditioning, you bring it back to spec.

Later in the day, you identify parts and supplies to restock, jump in to back up teammates as needed, and help keep the workspace aligned with 5S and housekeeping standards. Continuous improvement is part of your rhythm—you participate in CI efforts focused on better processes, measurable results, and cost savings.

When required, you set up basic machining operations—lathe, drill press, grinder, and similar tools—to fabricate or repair components, and you may perform basic welding. You close out the day by documenting work performed, updating records, and reviewing CMMS history to inform future maintenance strategies. Along the way, you perform basic troubleshooting on control-system circuitry and follow all safety policies with strong situational awareness.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute entry- to mid-level corrective and preventive maintenance.
• Adjust functional assemblies and control instruments; repair/replace defective components; recondition machine tools.

• Engage in continuous improvement initiatives focusing on processes, results, and cost reduction.
• Set up and operate basic machining equipment (e.g., lathe, drill press, grinder); perform basic welding as needed.
• Maintain accurate records and review CMMS history.
• Troubleshoot basic control-system circuitry.
• Pursue technical self-study to support career development.
• Follow all safety policies, regulations, and technical instructions; maintain situational awareness and identify unsafe conditions.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED.
• Associate degree with a technical focus OR 18+ months of related general-industry experience OR successful completion of the ATS Technician Progression Program.
