A professional diploma in the relevant field, such as a CAP in Industrial Equipment Maintenance, a Bac Pro in Automated Mechanical Systems Maintenance, or a BTS in Systems Maintenance, is often required. Possession of specific certifications, like electrical accreditation, may be required. Proficiency in computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) tools is an advantage.
With experience, a maintenance agent can progress to higher positions such as senior maintenance technician, maintenance manager, or join design teams to improve the maintainability of new equipment. Additional training and the acquisition of project management skills can open pathways to management positions.
Working as a temporary maintenance agent offers the opportunity to gain a rich and varied experience by working in different sectors and environments. This allows for the development of valuable adaptability and the expansion of one's professional network. For companies, temporary work is an effective solution for managing maintenance activity peaks or temporarily replacing team members, thus ensuring the continuity of operations without compromising quality or safety.
