• Use of hand tools (manual and powered) or machine tools (lathe, mill, pillar drill, surface grinder, welder etc) to make or modify components prior to assembly.
• Measurement of build parameters, e.g. tightening torques, calculation of clearances, measurement of volumes.
• Careful disassembly of components to assess condition, including measurements of fastener tightness.

Requirements

• Safe movement and handling of large, heavy or awkward objects – slinging and lifting, manual handling.
• Application of specialist instrumentation techniques, such as modification of parts to accept crank encoders, speed pickups, adhesive bonded sensors, surface thermocouples.
