Automatic Teller Machine Servicers

Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits

First line technicians do not need any previous experience, but those with prior experience in electronics are more likely to land jobs, earn higher pay, and get promoted.

Since ATM servicers handle other people's money, trustworthiness and responsibility are key qualities. Employers will check your credit, background, and driving records and conduct polygraph and drug tests.

You will often be on call to service machines at odd or irregular hours, so employers will expect you to be dependable. You must also be able to work without close supervision. The most successful technicians are those who can closely follow all the required steps.

Analytical and problem-solving skills are important, and if you supervise other technicians, you'll need people skills and the ability to coordinate the work of others. If you do second line service, you'll need mechanical and computer skills. Finger dexterity and good vision are also important, given that you will be working with various tools and often looking at small components.
