Professional Mechanical Engineers
Mechanical maintenance engineers are highly-qualified following years of technical and practical training. Many systems that need repair or maintenance are intertwined; gas boilers include electrical timers, plumbing systems are linked to heating appliances and machinery with complex, mechanical components is often computerised. Mechanical engineers are frequently skilled in more than one technical field and hold several certifications. They have to be legally registered with one or both of the following:

Mechanical Engineering Skills
In addition to their far-reaching technical skills, mechanical engineers need to be organised and alert. Identifying when the wear and tear of vital components is at a crucial stage can prevent system failure and save companies considerable sums of money by advising on timely replacements. During emergency mechanical failures the system maintenance engineers need to be particularly quick-thinking to identify the source of a fault. Professional maintenance engineers have the ability to remain confident and calm when working under pressure. Having an aptitude for working both in solitude and as part of a team is essential. Typical duties include:
