Maintenance and Operations Engineering Technician Apprenticeship Level 3
This apprenticeship will give you the knowledge and skills to work as a Maintenance & Operations Engineering Technician (MOET), and there are four routes to choose from which are Electrical Technician, Mechanical Technician, Electrical System and Process Control Technician, and Electromechanical Technician.
A MOET engineer role will typically maintain the safety, integrity and effective operation of plant and equipment relevant to the industry/sector they are working in, whether electricity generation, telecommunications, processing, manufacturing and production, and many more. They will work on various types of plant and equipment commonly found throughout engineering industry sectors, and will be involved in installation, testing, servicing, removal, replacement, maintenance and repair of a range of equipment, as part of planned preventative and reactive maintenance programmes. They may also undertake decommissioning activities when plant is being removed from service. Meeting quality standards and compliance with health & safety legislation is also essential, as well as the development of professional skills such as effective communication, team working, organisational skills.
A key component of the standard is the development of both theory knowledge and practical skills relevant to the role of a maintenance and operations technician.
