Key skills for this role include mechanical and electrical aptitude, problem-solving capabilities, and a keen attention to detail. A strong understanding of hydraulic, pneumatic, and electronic systems is also beneficial. They should possess the ability to read and interpret technical drawings and manuals. Certain certifications such as Certified Maintenance & Reliability Technician (CMRT) or relevant trade certifications may be required. Prior roles a person might have before progressing to a Maintenance Technician include Maintenance Assistant, Production Operator, or an Apprentice in a relevant trade such as Electrician or Mechanic.
