One of the best things about my job is the people I work with. Everyone gets along and people are always willing to help.

I love that I learn something new every day about my trade. What I’ve learned has helped me do things such as troubleshooting and maintaining a 10-speed transmission dies for automotive companies.

What do you like to do outside of work?

In my everyday life I like to do things outdoors and spend time with my family.

Darryl

Senior Maintenance Technician

What makes your job rewarding?

One of the great things about ATS is we all work as a team. It feels like a family.

I like that every day is different, and I get to wear many different hats. Some days I’ll be repairing a conveyer, on others I’ll troubleshoot an electrical problem or work on pumps.

When I finish a job for the customer and they thank me, I know that they really appreciate what I did. Sometimes they’ll even email my site manager to compliment my work.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I like to work on cars, go to car shows, and go hunting.
