Shape the future of uptime at ATS
Imagine starting your day by reviewing a vibration spike you caught overnight, walking the line with technicians to validate a predictive alert, and then facilitating a quick huddle to prioritize corrective actions. By afternoon, you’ve updated an equipment-specific maintenance plan (ESMP), prepared a capital expenditure recommendation with ROI, and aligned with leadership on KPIs that matter to both ATS and our customer. If this sounds like your kind of impact, you’ll thrive here.
What you’ll do
- Model and reinforce ATS’s safety-first culture while ensuring adherence to all regulatory requirements and ATS standards.
- Collaborate with internal and external customers to design engineered solutions that boost reliability and throughput.
- Spot opportunities for equipment replacement or upgrades and build compelling ROI cases for CapEx requests.
- Champion precision maintenance principles, critical elements, and operating systems to advance a world-class reliability culture.
- Apply precision tools and techniques effectively in day-to-day diagnostics and improvements.
- Own reliability-centered maintenance deliverables, including creation and optimization of ESMPs.
- Partner with maintenance teams to leverage predictive, preventive, and precision maintenance technologies so risks are managed before failure.
- Conduct and guide Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA) to inform strategy and task plans.
- Use advanced Work Execution Management (WEM) practices; mentor others to close gaps discovered in reliability strategy sessions.
- Lead, train, and coach Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Bad Actor elimination, and Fault Tree Analysis using ATS methodologies.
- Align reliability initiatives to ATS/customer KPIs and report measurable outcomes.
Essential qualifications
