  • Install, align, dismantle and move stationary industrial machinery and mechanical equipment, such as pumps, fans, tanks, conveyors, furnaces and generators according to layout plans using hand and power tools. 
  • Operate hoisting and lifting devices to position machinery and parts during the installation, set-up and repair of machinery. 
  • Inspect and examine machinery and equipment to detect and investigate irregularities and malfunctions. 
  • Install, troubleshoot and maintain power transmission, vacuum, hydraulic and pneumatic systems. 
  • Adjust machinery and repair or replace defective parts.
