Learn What an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic Does
As an industrial maintenance mechanic, it will be your job to maintain and repair factory equipment. This equipment can include conveyance systems, production machinery, and of course, packaging equipment. In this career, you may be referred to as a ‘Millwright’, and it will be your job to do the following when it comes to factory equipment:
* Installation
* Dismantling
* Repair
* Assembly
* Moving Machinery
These jobs can be carried out in factories, on construction sites, and even in power plants – the possibilities and career potential are unlimited.
Specific Duties of an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic
As an industrial maintenance mechanic, you will be tasked with many different duties, some of which will most definitely be more taxing than others. To start, you will need to be able to read technical manuals so that you can understand the equipment that you will be dealing with on a day-to-day basis. In addition to that, you must be ready to disassemble and troubleshoot any equipment when there is a problem that is hindering factory production. During the disassembly, you may need to lubricate the equipment or perhaps even calibrate it to the optimal specifications outlined in the manual for that particular piece of equipment.
In other words, one of your primary jobs will be checking the performance of the different pieces of machinery, ensuring that they actually run correctly and that they are not hindering the operations of the plant. Some of the problems will be minor and others will be extremely serious – it all depends on the issue and what caused it. As an industrial maintenance mechanic, it will be your job to determine that!
