Maintenance Technician careers
Their duties typically include inspecting and troubleshooting systems, performing routine preventive maintenance, responding to equipment failures, and ensuring compliance with safety standards. They may work across electrical, mechanical, plumbing, or HVAC systems depending on their skill set and the needs of the organisation.
