Technicians will work on various types of plant and equipment commonly found throughout the Engineering sector and can be expected to migrate through these sectors during the course of their careers.Dependent upon the sector you are employed in, there may be subtle differences in terms of the composition and application of the plant and equipment. However, the fundamental principles of operation will be the same regardless of the Engineering sector.
