Maintenance Engineering
What is it?
Maintenance Engineering focuses on the optimisation, servicing and repair of machinery and equipment. Essentially keeping it running as efficiently as possible, at its optimum, with as few breakdowns as possible. This sector of engineering requires a broad range of skills as it can encompass complex fault finding across multiple systems including mechanical and electrical, as well as consistent maintenance to stop the faults before they appear, and optimisation procedures. As technology, robotics and AI grow in the production environment, the necessity for maintenance engineers is also growing; robots cannot fix themselves!
