What will I learn

The broad purpose of the occupation is to provide specialist technical support for engineers so that organisations can develop, produce, or test new and existing products, processes, or procedures to meet a customer specification in terms of quality, cost, and delivery, as efficiently and effectively as possible. Engineering manufacturing technicians gather information and data from a range of sources for analysis. They will make decisions, solve problems, and produce. Where applicable, they will update technical documentation, reports, or specifications covering areas such as quality, reliability, production schedules, costing or other technical documentation that informs others internally or externally with what needs to be done. This could inform on how a product is designed, manufactured, tested, modified, maintained, stored, transported, commissioned, or decommissioned.
