You may think maintenance engineering roles are fairly self explanatory, however there’s much more to this role than meets the eye.
The Job
Of course Maintenance Engineers do repair and service machinery, but their role is much more far reaching. They are responsible for the continuous running of equipment and machinery. In order to do this they use computer systems to monitor and report on a systems state of repair as well as organise maintenance and repairs. They aim do this in a way that will reduce efficiency/output by as minimal amount as possible.
They are also tasked with improving facilities to reduce the number of break downs and the cost of these breakdowns.
The specific tasks they complete are dependent on the industry you work in, you could work in one of the following areas;
Production line machinery
Civil or Military aircraft
Power generation facilities
Automated transportation machinery

What you can expect
