  • Steel and wood fittings — fabricate and install using blueprints and shop sketches under standard shop conditions with periodic supervisor review.
  • Troubleshooting techniques — apply systematically to diagnose the root cause of mechanical failures in rail car systems encountered during routine inspections.
  • Welding equipment — operate to repair structural or mechanical components on rail cars in accordance with shop safety standards and work orders.
  • Seals and gasket assemblies — test for integrity after installation using prescribed pressure or leak-check procedures in the maintenance shop.
  • Operations monitoring principles — use to track equipment behavior during functional tests and identify deviations that require further repair action.
