The Maintenance Technician carries out maintenance and repair work to electrical and/or mechanical installations or equipment (such as production machinery, rotating equipment, electrical installations, transport systems, buildings, facilities, and constructions), so that technical assignments are carried out on time, safely, and according to specifications in order to support the optimal running of production.

The Maintenance Technician operates within a production/technical department, focusing on the execution of preventive and corrective maintenance. The main purpose of the job is to prevent any malfunction of the equipment, apparatus, machinery, or systems used in the production process.

The Maintenance Technician may also support facilities beyond production, such as R&D laboratories, office facilities, and technical buildings (utilities) and systems for logistics and storage. The job involves troubleshooting to keep the production process running and carrying out tasks to prevent future disturbances.

The job may be limited to one technical discipline (such as construction, mechanical, rotating, electrical), or may require skills in related technical areas. Depending on the size of the facility, the number of Maintenance Technicians may vary in technical disciplines and expertise levels.

At the highest job level, the “all-round” Maintenance Technician is capable of troubleshooting and solving technical issues in an expert role.
