Industrial Maintenance is a high-priority occupation. The electrical and mechanical repair and maintenance of manual and automated machinery used in manufacturing products enable high-speed manufacturing of products from food to hard goods in our competitive global industrial economy. It also demands well-trained technicians to service, maintain, install and retrofit this equipment and keep it running at peak capacity every day.
