Is there anything more glamorous than the life of an industrial maintenance technician? Overheating motors, cavitating pumps, misaligned shafts, worn belts, and seized bearings represent just a few of the common mechanical issues a technician might encounter daily.

Knowing how to fix these issues and, perhaps more importantly, how to conduct preventive maintenance to avoid these issues altogether remain two of the most important qualities of a highly skilled industrial maintenance technician.

Indeed, routine and preventive mechanical maintenance goes a long way toward ensuring that an industrial facility operates at peak efficiency. Maintenance technicians must possess a wide variety of basic mechanical skills, including the ability to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair a broad range of equipment, such as pumps, engines, turbines, AC and DC motors, bearings, couplings, and belt and chain drives.

How do you ensure that your technicians have the skills they need? Fortunately, you don’t have to be an expert on training to see that your workers learn the knowledge and skills they need to keep your facility running efficiently and effectively. Trust the experts at Bayport Technical to provide the training tools you need.
