The Maintenance Technician Specialist supports the FedEx Industrial maintenance of material handling through the application and demonstration of highly advanced knowledge and skills in all disciplines relating to the material handling system. The Maintenance Tech Specialist is considered the subject matter expert on all aspects of the material handling system and any interconnectedness with communication and support systems in the domiciled facility. The specialist is also responsible for the design and implementation of training and development programs for all site-specific equipment. This may include working with vendors, integrators, manufacturers, installers, and corporate support teams to ensure all necessary resources are available at the local level, that and all technicians have been effectively trained in the maintenance and troubleshooting of all equipment and systems and training of equipment operators in the correct use of the material handling system when necessary. The Maintenance Tech Specialist will act as a mentor to lower level technicians.
