They work with pneumatics and hydraulics, and must know welding, metal fabrication, and rigging. This job is physically demanding. Examples of courses that Industrial Mechanics take during their related training study are APR 174 - Machining for Industrial Mechanics and APR 203 - LME: Electrical Code II.
