Polymechanics technicians, or mechanical and maintenance
fitters, produce and install parts for the technical repair of
production machinery.
Carrying out the repair and maintenance of machines and systems
in production plants is a skilled job which requires knowledge of
logic, drilling, turning, milling, assembling and automation
control. Modern machines are also often pneumatically and
electronically controlled, so an understanding of these
technologies is also essential.
Polymechanics technicians decide what kind of production
processes, machines and parts are needed to repair the machines
under their care. They will then use that part and reassemble the
equipment, adjusting and testing it until it works again.
