Maintenance Mechanic Reviews
What is it like working as a Maintenance Mechanic?
September 2016
Good I like to work at small engine and find problems.
Maintenance Mechanic:

July 2016

June 2016
That I wouldn't recieve a raise for 5 + years.
Maintenance Mechanic:
My advice for a new Maintenance Mechanic would be to learn how each of the machines you'll be responsible for servicing operate/function. The more knowledge and understanding you have about the machines the easier it is to narrowing down the problem and begin repairs. Fixing the problem(s) as quick as possible helps reduce machine(s) down time. Down time means that the company is losing money as long as that machine not running.
June 2016
Setup and fleet matainance.
Maintenance Mechanic:
Pros: Independent scheduling.
Access to technical support and training.
Wide variety of equipment to learn.
Fellow employees are fun to work with.
Customers are generally nice and fun to assist.
Cons: Responsibilities beyond original agreement without promotion or raise.
Little growth opportunity.
Rare appreciation for work preformed.
Little access to documentation and visibility.
Little information on expectations.
April 2016
Keep up with changing technology.
Maintenance Mechanic:
Never pass up any offer of training courses, certificate updates, that is one of the good things (if offered) about working for a government agency (city) and decent benefits!
April 2016
None.
Maintenance Mechanic:
None that I can think of at this time.
