PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE Advanced Industrial Maintenance Technician | rncp36247
The responsibilities of a senior technician fall into three main categories, reflecting the nature of the organization and the structure of the position:
-
technical work on multi-technology industrial facilities during operation: he performs preventive maintenance to prevent the occurrence of failures, corrective maintenance to restore a malfunctioning machine to its original operating condition, and predictive maintenance, which involves analyzing a facility’s operating parameters to detect deviations and anomalies;
-
maintenance planning and management: in line with the company’s strategy, the individual defines maintenance operations and then organizes their implementation and follow-up. This planning takes into account any disabilities employees may have;
-
Technical and organizational improvements: He identifies, evaluates, and implements projects designed to improve the reliability, maintainability, availability, and security of assets. He verifies the effectiveness of the actions taken.
Depending on the size of the company and its maintenance policy, the employee is assigned to one or more of these activities and works independently in one or more technological fields. He or she works alone or as part of a team for which he or she may be responsible. He or she implements risk prevention measures for his or her own work and that of the people under his or her supervision. In this context, they must hold the necessary certifications required for the position, such as the BR electrical certification. They incorporate the principles of sustainable development in effect at their company into their work.
Within the maintenance department, he works primarily in collaboration with the production department, as well as with the design, process engineering, and purchasing departments. He may also travel to perform work at sites belonging to external clients. For technical interventions, the senior maintenance technician works directly on the equipment. The repair of subassemblies is carried out in the maintenance workshop. The management and organization of service calls, as well as the design of improvements, are carried out in the office. The senior maintenance technician adapts to the specific safety requirements of industrial sites. This job often involves on-call duties, including night shifts, weekends, and holidays.
