We help the nation’s leading manufacturers increase their profits through optimization of industrial equipment. ATS was created in 1985 when 32 people came together to create an entirely new kind of business after determining that manufacturers weren’t investing the time and resources needed to run at their optimum level. Since then, we’ve become the foremost experts in the industry and have been helping companies improve their productivity and profitability for more than 33 years. We’ve now grown to over 3,000 employees across the US, UK, and Mexico and are expanding every year.
We help improve the productivity and reliability of our customer’s manufacturing assets. Today, we work with some of the largest brands in the world to make their businesses run better. From food processing and consumer packaged goods, to transportation equipment manufacturing and everything in between, ATS stays at the forefront of technology and innovations across many different industries.
While the customers who hire us focus on production, ATS technicians ensure that the customer’s production equipment continues to work at its optimum level. We’re able to save our customers millions of dollars every year by lowering manufacturing costs and optimizing their production equipment. Opportunities in FMS include positions like Maintenance Technicians, Supply Chain Specialists, Site Management, Planner/Schedulers, Reliability Engineers, and many more.
Our highly skilled technicians work both at our corporate sites and on-site at our customer locations troubleshooting component-level repair for failed parts used in the manufacturing process. When those parts go down, our technicians are able to diagnose the issue, repair, rebuild, or refurbish the part, then send it back to the customer. We rebuild both electronic and mechanical components used in industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to building products and consumer packaged goods. Positions in IPS include Repair Technicians, Buyers, Calibration Technicians, Shipping and Receiving and Mechanical Engineers.
What started in a 25,000 square foot office building in central Illinois has now expanded to 5 different corporate offices across 3 countries. The corporate offices are the support team for the employees working in our customer’s facilities. From sales and marketing, to training and operations, the corporate offices provide the backbone for the important technical work our employees do in the field.
Prepare for your future career by joining our summer internship program. Each year, our paid interns join various departments like Marketing, Recruiting, Sales, and Engineering. Our interns get real-life experience by working on various projects and performing many of the same day-to-day tasks our full-time employees do.

"The Structure at ATS is very similar to what it was in the military which made the transition easy. We have a daily schedule that includes meetings, production schedules, and planning for the week and month. Teamwork is a huge part of the job and everyone understands what we have to do to complete our tasks and will go above and beyond to complete it. The corporate office is also filled with veterans and understand the day-to-day grind down on the "deck plates" and are always available to help."
Brendan Roberts - Master Sergeant
U.S. Army, 29 Years of Service
"Because there are so many former military at ATS, we're able to lend our support to each other. One of the technicians I work with was having a hard time with his past deployment so a few of us came together and spent time just listening to him talk about it and were able to help him through it. It's easier to share those experiences with someone who understands what it's like. We have a special bond that goes beyond just being coworkers. That support is incredibly important to us."
Hiring great people is the foundation on which the entire company was built. When you work at ATS you know you’ll be surrounded by genuine people who will support you both personally and professionally.
We are life-long learners. Whether you’re learning new skills or fine-tuning the ones you have, you’ll be given the resources and mentorship you need to succeed in a company committed to education and development.
Great work comes from taking pride in what you do. At ATS you’ll have the ability to create your own career path and make a real impact on the company. It is a place where your hard work will be rewarded and your successes will be noticed.
ATS employees are encouraged to take creative risks. After all, ATS began with 32 people willing to take a risk and create a new business model that hadn’t been done before. We continue to keep that entrepreneurial spirit alive, 33 years later.
Keeping our employees safe both on and off the job is our top priority. We practice what we preach by maintaining some of the highest safety standards in the industry. Employees are reimbursed every year for personal protective equipment so they can continually keep themselves safe on the job.
