The maintenance technician will use tools ranging from common hammers, hoists, saws, drills, and wrenches, to precision measuring instruments, computers, robots, and electrical testing devices.

The maintenance technician may also diagnose mechanical problems and determine corrections based on blueprints, repair manuals, or parts catalogs.
