Description
Maintenance mechanics work in every industry that uses machinery. Examples include but are not limited to cement manufacturing plants, hospitals, apartment complexes, school districts, petroleum refineries, clothing manufacturers, transportation manufacturers, and food processing.
Maintenance mechanics install and maintain equipment with the goal of ensuring that all machines function properly. They perform preventative maintenance, troubleshoot problems, and repair machines. Students must have technical/mechanical aptitude, the ability to handle and operate hand-held power tools, mobility, and the ability to stand and sit at a workstation for several hours.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts that employment of maintenance mechanics will grow 13 percent through 2032. The need to keep increasingly sophisticated machinery functioning and efficient will continue to create demand for these workers. The average entry wage is $60,990 based on the May 2022 Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics for Kansas as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This program is designed to prepare students to obtain the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) certification as an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic. In addition, the program prepares students to take the Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals Certifying Organization’s exam to become a Certified Maintenance & Reliability Technician (CMRT).
