• Keep equipment ready to work: Perform preventive maintenance, inspections, and testing to ensure safe, reliable operation.
• Take your skills into the field: Troubleshoot and repair equipment at customer jobsites.
• Share what you know: Mentor technicians and help shop and store employees build their skills and confidence.
