Industrial Asset Reliability Engineer – Precision Maintenance

Your day, your impact

You step onto the factory floor and immediately plug into ATS’s safety culture—coaching, modeling, and enforcing safe behaviors while honoring all regulatory commitments and ATS policies. From there, you partner with internal and external customers to design engineered improvements that boost equipment reliability and throughput. You spot worn assets before they become constraints, shape capital plans with clear ROI stories, and help the site operate with a true precision reliability mindset.

What you'll tackle

• Champion ATS safety culture; ensure adherence to all regulatory requirements and ATS procedures.
• Collaborate with internal/external customers to craft engineered solutions that elevate reliability and output.
• Identify equipment replacement opportunities and build compelling CapEx/ROI cases.
• Apply deep knowledge of operating systems, critical components, and reliability best practices to embed a precision reliability culture.
• Utilize precision tools and techniques with skill and consistency.
• Co-develop equipment-specific maintenance plans (ESMP) through reliability-centered maintenance.
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with maintenance to deploy predictive, preventive, and precision maintenance technologies and strategies that manage risk before failure and drive excellent execution.
• Partner with peers to run FMEA and translate findings into action.
• Leverage Work Execution Management (WEM) and implement improvements identified in reliability strategy sessions.
• Conduct ATS Root Cause, Bad Actor, and Fault Tree analyses to eliminate recurring losses.
• Communicate progress and align ATS/Customer KPIs with site leadership.

Physical demands and environment

This role frequently involves standing, walking, using hands for fine work, reaching, climbing/balancing, and occasional stooping, kneeling, crouching, or crawling, with regular verbal communication and hearing. Sitting occurs occasionally. You may at times lift or move items exceeding 50 pounds. Close and color vision are routinely required. Intermittent exposure to outdoor weather and electrical shock risk may occur. Work is primarily in a loud factory setting where hazardous materials may be present and floors can be greasy or slippery.
