- Preventive Maintenance: Performing routine inspections, cleaning, lubricating, and replacing filters or worn parts on equipment like HVAC units, boilers, or production machinery.
- Corrective Repairs: Diagnosing and fixing faults in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. This can range from repairing electrical panels and motors to fixing leaks or unblocking drains.
- System Installation & Modification: Assisting with the installation of new equipment or modifying existing building systems to improve efficiency or meet safety codes.
- Compliance & Safety: Ensuring all installations and repairs comply with building codes and safety regulations. Technicians must also adhere to occupational health and safety standards during all interventions.

trade school diploma, or high school diploma is usually required. Some roles prefer formal training in fields like Industrial Maintenance, Electromechanics, or HVAC technology.
