Mechanical Maintenance Learning Path
Enhancing Core Skills & Improving Troubleshooting
Responsible for keeping critical systems running smoothly, mechanical technicians ensure equipment is maintained and repaired, primed for peak performance. From the first day a machine is brought online, they play a key role in making sure it operates correctly and reliably.
These technicians must have a strong understanding of systems and the precision to keep complex equipment in top shape. While their primary focus is on maintenance and repair, they often team up with millwrights to work on installation and upgrade projects. Our mechanical maintenance and millwright training paths reflect this versatility, with both foundational and advanced topics and procedures. Lean on TPC's training solutions to keep production moving without interruption.
What is a Mechanical Tech Responsible For?
Precision & Calibration
Ensure installation is precise down to laser alignment, perfect alignment, and absolutely level to ensure no heavy loads shift.
Preventive Maintenance
Perform the preventive maintenance recommended by manufacturers using industry best practices.
Installation & Assembly
Work with Millwrights to install heavy equipment, such as turbines, compressors, conveyors, pumps, etc. and assemble per manufacturer specifications.
Who Needs Mechanical Training?
Millwrights & Mechanical Assemblers
Responsible for new equipment installation during renovations, replacements, or new construction, these techs prepare new machines for production.
Industrial Mechanics
A gearhead responsible for troubleshooting and repairing faults with high pressure to work quickly and safely to minimize downtime.
Machinery Maintenance Workers
Less specialized, this role needs the same level of knowledge, but may do more generalized maintenance - such as preventive maintenance checklists.
Online Curriculum Path for Mechanical System Techs
TPC's learning path delivers a comprehensive topic coverage for technicians focusing on mechanical systems. The self-paced curriculum path spans foundational topics — such as reading blueprints, measurements, and tool use — to advanced competencies including hydraulics, pneumatics, bearings, pumps, piping systems, lubrication, and troubleshooting, this structured training builds deep technical fluency.
With over 350 hours of learning, the program empowers technicians with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in maintenance. Online course paths can also be supplemented with live instructor-led training.
