Would you like to build machinery that is used for industrial, public and commercial purposes? You could manufacture products such as industrial machinery and refrigeration, mining equipment, agricultural machinery, elevators, escalators and engines.

Mechanical Engineers keep our country running by manufacturing and maintaining the moving parts of the machines and equipment that are essential to all of our industries. A trade in Fitting & Machining, Toolmaking, Machining, Fitting or Refrigeration/Air Conditioning will get you started in a great career in Mechanical Engineering.

Machinists set up and operate tools and computer controlled machines to cut and shape steel and other materials to manufacture parts or machinery. Fitters assemble and install machinery. Toolmakers make the precision equipment and tools used in manufacturing. There are many opportunities at a technician or professional level as well.

The skills you learn in working on heavy machinery could also see you moving across to work in Light Metals, Aerospace, Automotive or even the Fine Trades.
