Responsibilities also include lifting, rigging, crane and hoist work where trained, as well as maintaining pumping, compressed‑air and pneumatic systems.
Additional duties cover troubleshooting and repairing bulk‑storage and material‑handling equipment such as silos, vessels, hoppers and transport systems. The fitter will perform mechanical repairs, diagnose faults, conduct inspections, adjustments and calibrations, and work from written instructions, drawings and plans.
