A day in the life

Your morning kicks off with work orders, blueprints, and schematics. You plan the teardown of horizontal and vertical pumps, rig them with the overhead crane, and methodically disassemble.

By afternoon, you’re rebuilding, aligning, and validating fit and clearances—operating manual, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric tools with confidence.
