Junior Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Technician

ATS - Industrial Maintenance
East Peoria, IL

Job Description

Job Description

A day in this role

You start your shift by checking the CMMS to review open work orders and recent history. From there, you’ll move through the facility performing a mix of break/fix tasks and scheduled preventive maintenance. You’ll fine‑tune functional components and control instruments so equipment runs smoothly and reliably, swap out worn or defective parts, and bring machine tools back to proper condition when they need reconditioning.

As production needs change, you’ll identify the parts, supplies, and repair items required to keep work moving. You’ll also step in to support teammates when leadership asks, upholding maintenance industry standards and modeling strong 5S and housekeeping habits on every job. Continuous improvement is part of your routine—contributing to better processes, measurable results, and cost savings.

Some days call for basic machining: setting up and operating a lathe, drill press, grinder, or other metalworking tools to make or repair components. You may also perform light welding when needed. Throughout, you’ll document your work, keep records up to date, and review equipment history in the CMMS to inform good decisions. When issues trace back to controls, you’ll run basic troubleshooting on system circuitry to isolate and fix the problem. You’ll also invest in your growth through self‑directed technical learning. Safety frames everything you do—following policies, rules, and technical instructions while staying situationally aware to spot and address unsafe acts or conditions.

What you bring
  • High school diploma or GED.
  • Associate degree with a technical concentration OR 18+ months of related general‑industry experience OR successful completion of the ATS Technician Progression Program.
  • Working knowledge of basic electrical and mechanical systems with hands‑on repair ability.
  • Comfort using essential hand tools.
Core proficiencies
  • Mechanical troubleshooting
  • Hydraulics
  • Preventive maintenance and inspection
Physical demands and work environment

Expect frequent standing and walking; using hands and fingers to handle or feel; reaching with hands and arms; climbing, ascending/descending, or balancing at heights that may require a ladder or lift; and stooping, kneeling, crouching, or crawling in confined spaces. Clear communication (talking and hearing) is required. Sitting occurs occasionally. At times you will lift and/or move more than 50 pounds. Close and color vision are used regularly. You may occasionally work outdoors and encounter risk of electrical shock. The setting is primarily a factory environment that is typically very loud, with possible exposure to hazardous materials and greasy or slippery floors.
