Science Industry Maintenance Technicians ensure the safe and efficient operation of plant machinery by installing, maintaining, testing, and repairing mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation equipment. They play a vital role in identifying issues, solving problems, and improving work environments.

These technicians work in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and nuclear manufacturing, where safety and regulatory compliance are paramount. They work independently or as part of maintenance teams, often under strict safety protocols and industry regulations, with some roles requiring shift work and the use of specialist safety equipment.

Documents are available to Centres from June 2019.
