What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Damaged or worn mechanical parts — diagnose and replace independently on a variety of mobile heavy equipment with minimal supervision in a fleet-maintenance setting.
  • Hydraulic and mechanical subassemblies — overhaul and reassemble transmissions, crawler heads, and lift systems using cranes and precision hand tools in a production shop.
  • Operational defects — troubleshoot by operating and road-testing heavy equipment to isolate root causes before initiating repairs.
  • Technical service bulletins and blueprints — interpret multi-page diagrams and apply specifications to ensure accurate component reassembly on earthmoving or material-handling equipment.
  • Electrical systems — rewire, test, and repair circuits and control panels on heavy equipment using multimeters and wiring diagrams in a field or shop context.
  • Repaired equipment — conduct post-overhaul performance and load tests, comparing results against manufacturer tolerances to confirm operating efficiency.
  • Time and workflow — plan daily repair sequences and prioritize work orders to meet equipment return-to-service deadlines in a busy maintenance yard.
  • Quality control findings — document inspection results, defects, and corrective actions in facility management or maintenance-tracking software.
  • Common mechanical and hydraulic problems — apply critical thinking to select appropriate repair methods and tools from available resources without supervisor input.
  • Customer or operator communication — explain repair findings and service recommendations clearly in written work orders and verbal briefings.
