You'll need to be able to read and understand work instructions, manuals, schematics, and fabrication drawings.
A minimum of 3-5 years of work experience as a technician or mechanic in an industrial environment working on equipment is going to have you on the right path.

You will need to frequently walk, climb, kneel, bend, reach overhead, push, pull, and use a ladder or lift. You might have to be able to lift and move up to 50 pounds at a time.
