building services - servicing lifts and escalators; installing heating and air conditioning systems
transport - repairing mechanical components on rail engines and signalling equipment.
Mechanical engineering technicians work on projects with other engineering craftspeople and technicians under the supervision of an engineer.
Design - using computer-aided design (CAD) software to draw up plans for new prototypes, or to investigate potential performance enhancements by modifying existing designs.
Research and development - investigating and testing possible solutions to overcome machinery or process problems.
Mechanical engineering technicians work 37 to 40 hours a week, Monday to Friday, however, they may have to work overtime or shifts if the work relates closely to production.
