Measurement technician

Metrologists are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of measurements taken during tests, where the results are used as evidence for certification. Metrologists have to determine what measurement should be taken and monitored, and the measuring and follow-up devices required in order to provide evidence that the product meets set standards. Metrologists must establish the processes ensuring that follow-ups and measurement can be implemented, and that this is done so in a way that complies with the measurement and follow-up requirements. The substantial overlap between a metrologist's duties and quality control tasks explains why measurement processes are of key importance in order to determine whether products meet required quality standards. Metrologists should have a command of the various control and measurement devices, as well as a thorough knowledge of different quality control standards. Since metrological control is one of the components of a quality standards system, metrologists must work in close collaboration with the quality department.

Mechanical handling

People related to the field of mechanical handling are interested in the assembly, maintenance, repair and use of machines, tools and installations. Some good examples of professional activities in the field of mechanical handling are adjusting and configuring machines, reviewing technical equipment to detect incidents in their operation, handling machinery in production processes and driving specialised vehicles.

Technician

People who show an interest in the technical field find fulfilment in carrying out activities related to the design and manufacture of objects, machines, vehicles and/or infrastructures. These activities require the application of scientific and technical knowledge (laws of physics, calculations and mathematical formulas, properties of the materials, etc). Creativity is also necessary when coming up with optimal solutions for the functional requirements of the products to be designed. Therefore, the pragmatic application of scientific knowledge in order to develop solutions for the benefit of human beings is the main function of occupations in the technical field.
