Course Overview

Electrical/Mechanical/Control and Instrumentation/Wind Turbine Technicians will work on various plants and equipment commonly found throughout the Engineering Industry sectors; Technicians can be expected to migrate through these sectors during their careers. Depending upon the industry they are employed in, there may be subtle differences in the composition and application of the plant and equipment. However, the fundamental principles of operation will be the same regardless of the engineering sector.

To support the business and operational requirements of modern integrated engineered production plants and services, Electrical Systems and Process Control Technicians and Electromechanical Technicians will need to apply a range of traditional skills and knowledge to undertake engineering activities on a selection of electromechanical and process control plant, systems and equipment.

These Technicians will undertake installation, testing, servicing, removal, replacement, maintenance, and repair of a range of equipment, sometimes complex, as part of planned preventative and reactive maintenance programs. They may also undertake decommissioning activities when the plant is removed from service.

Plant Operation Technicians will undertake the safe and efficient operation of complex integrated energy conversion and production plants and systems. These activities could include plant commissioning, isolation, and testing, plant preparation, plant start-up and shutdown, monitoring and controlling the plant, and dealing with critical operational problems.
