Technical Officer careers
A Technical Officer installs and maintains equipment and machinery in the manufacturing industry. You might design and develop new manufacturing systems or equipment or perform repairs, adjustments or servicing on existing systems. Technical Officers might respond to problem issues or develop ways to make systems run more efficiently.
Technical Officers should be excellent problem solvers and be able to adapt their skills to suit a range of circumstances. Attention to detail is important and you’ll need to have excellent observational skills. Technical Officers must be able to work well in a team and communicate well with people from a range of backgrounds.
