Maintenance Mechanics

Maintenance Mechanics work with production machines, typically in factories, and oversee machine performance and upkeep. CHICAT’s advanced manufacturing program provides students with a thorough understanding of the food manufacturing industry, but can also lead to careers in industries like:

• Energy Maintenance and Engineering
• Water/Environmental Maintenance and Engineering

Program coursework includes:

• Hydraulic Fluid Power
• Pneumatic Fluid Power
• Mechanical Tools and Drive Systems
• AC/DC Electrical Systems and Programmable Logic Controllers
• Flexible Manufacturing Conveyor & Robotic Systems
• Shop Fundamentals

Completion of the Maintenance Mechanics program will provide students with Manufacturing Service Skills Council (MSSC) certification as Certified Production Technicians (CPT).
