Electro-Mechanical Industrial Maintenance Technician II

Job Description

Job Description

Step into a day where machines depend on you

You arrive on the floor, review overnight CMMS notes, and prioritize work. A press is down—your diagnostic instincts kick in. You observe it in operation, trace the root cause, safely lock out/tag out, and dismantle the assembly to access a worn component. You examine parts for imperfections, replace what’s defective, reassemble, and run functional tests. Before lunch, you log predictive maintenance data, tune a control loop, and mentor a junior tech on safe welding practices. The afternoon brings a CI huddle focused on cost savings, a 5S sweep, and a PLC configuration tweak to clear a persistent alarm. You wrap by updating maintenance records and planning tomorrow’s preventative tasks.

What you’ll tackle

• Perform mid-to-advanced break-fix and preventative maintenance across electrical, mechanical, fluid power, and control systems.
• Observe equipment in operation to pinpoint root causes; disassemble to access/replace defective parts; recondition machine tools; and verify performance with functional/electrical tests.
• Independently execute maintenance aligned with industry standards and best practices.
• Source and identify parts, supplies, and repair items to keep assets running.
• Set up and operate machining equipment (e.g., lathe, drill press, grinder, and other metalworking tools) to fabricate or repair components; perform welding as needed.
• Champion 5S and strong housekeeping; drive continuous improvement initiatives tied to process, results, and cost reduction.
• Maintain accurate CMMS records and review equipment history to inform decisions.
• Troubleshoot control systems to resolve software, hardware, and configuration issues.
• Use predictive maintenance technologies to capture and interpret performance data.
• Support and mentor lower-level technicians; provide leadership to small teams and take on advanced tasks as part of ongoing development.
• Engage in on-the-job learning and self-study to advance your technical career.
• Follow all safety policies, rules, regulations, technical instructions, and guidelines with strong situational awareness to recognize and correct unsafe conditions/behaviors.

What you bring

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Either: (a) Associate degree with a technical focus plus 3 years of related general-industry experience; or (b) 5 years of related general-industry experience; or (c) successful completion of the ATS Technician Progression Program.
• Proficiency across electrical, mechanical, fluid power, and control systems, with proven problem analysis and repair skills.
• Comfort with basic hand tools and specialized tools appropriate to the work.
• Willingness to travel as required.

Technical strengths expected

• 120/208/240/480 VAC power systems
• Electrical troubleshooting and repair
• Hydraulic systems and components
• Electrical systems and diagnostics for heavy equipment
• Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures
• Reading and interpreting electrical schematics

Tools & technology

• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

Work environment & physical expectations

• Regularly: stand, walk, talk/hear; use hands/fingers to handle or feel; reach with hands/arms; climb, ascend/descend, or balance at heights that may require a ladder or lift; and stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl in confined spaces.
• Occasionally: sit.
• Occasionally lift and/or move more than 50 pounds.
• Regularly use close vision and color vision.
• Occasional exposure to outside weather and risk of electrical shock.
• Typical factory setting that is usually very loud; potential exposure to hazardous materials and greasy or slippery floors.
