Level 3 Maintenance & Operations Engineering Technician (MOET)
Maintenance and Operations Engineering Technicians will maintain the safety, integrity and effective operation of plant and equipment within theEngineering Sector.
Electrical, Mechanical, Control and Instrumentation, and Wind Turbine Technicians will work on various types of plant and equipment commonly found throughout the Engineering Industry sectors. Dependent upon the sector that they are employed in there may be subtle differences in terms of the composition and application of the plant and equipment. However, the fundamental principles of operation will be the same regardless of the engineering sector.
To support the business and operational requirements of modern integrated engineered production plant and services, Electrical Systems and Process Control Technicians and Electromechanical Technicians will need to apply a range of conventional skills and knowledge to undertake engineering activities on a selection of electromechanical and process control plant, systems and equipment.
These Technicians will undertake installation, testing, servicing, removal, replacement, maintenance and repair of a range of equipment, sometimes complex, as part of planned preventative and reactive maintenance programmes. They may also undertake decommissioning activities when plant is being removed from service.
