Locksmith (general description of the profession). Occupation mechanic repairman

A mechanical assembly fitter is a difficult profession, and not everyone is able to master it. The reason lies in the fact that future specialists will have to study the structure of many mechanisms, and this requires an innate talent for memorization. In addition, a mechanical assembly fitter must have excellent endurance and strength, because the specifics of the work will repeatedly force him to face heavy parts and mechanisms.

And yet, one who masters this specialty can be sure that he will have a decent job. After all, locksmiths are always needed at enterprises, especially highly specialized ones.

Who is a fitter?

This branch of specialists is engaged in the assembly of mechanisms and devices. In particular, it is they who install various kinds of turbines, motors, nozzles, heating units, and so on. If we compare an ordinary locksmith with his mechanical assembly colleague, then the second one differs in that he has more in-depth knowledge in the field of mechanics.

If at ordinary enterprises there is no special need for such specialists, since an ordinary locksmith can perform their duties, then at factories for the production of various equipment they are simply irreplaceable. Especially where they create high-tech mechanisms and units that require increased attention in the manufacture.

How to become a mechanical assembly worker?

You can get a locksmith qualification at a technical school or college. Upon admission, you will need to pass an exam in physics and mathematics. You can’t call them simple, so you should prepare in advance, and if necessary, hire a tutor.

Another way is to get a job as an apprentice to an experienced specialist. After several years of such training, you will become a real mechanical assembly fitter. The duties of an apprentice exclude operations of increased complexity, so you should not count on full payment. But still, given that this is only a step on the way to the desired profession, such a distribution of the budget can be tolerated.

Finding the Right Job

Finding a job as a locksmith will not be difficult, because they are necessary in any enterprise. Remuneration will depend on the size of the organization and the responsibilities that will fall on the shoulders of the locksmith.

As for the search for vacancies in the specialty "mechanic of mechanical assembly works", everything is more complicated here. Indeed, at small enterprises there is no need to separate locksmiths into categories, and no one will pay extra for highly specialized education.

Therefore, it would be wiser to look for work in large enterprises. Modernization of machinery and equipment is constantly carried out here, which means that the services of an assembly fitter will be relevant. Also, do not forget about the factories that manufacture machine tools, various kinds of tools, units, and so on.

If there is nothing suitable, then you can get a job with a related specialization. For example, a mechanic for control of automation or a toolmaker.

What are the responsibilities of a mechanical fitter?

Plenty in future profession depends on the specific production. After all, it is one thing when a person works at a car factory, and a completely different thing is the metal-rolling industry. Nevertheless, it is possible to draw certain parallels.

The responsibilities of a mechanical assembly fitter are as follows:

1. First of all, a locksmith must be able to work with various mechanisms: assemble them on the basis of drawings, fit parts, adjust and check for suitability.
2. Also, the duties of a locksmith include repairs. First, he is responsible for the serviceability of his products. Secondly, he is obliged to repair all the mechanisms in his area in order to prevent downtime in production.
3. Regardless of the type of production, he must obey the higher management.

Naturally, the higher the category, the greater the chance of finding a well-paid job. Nevertheless, a mechanical assembly fitter is a profession where experience is valued first of all, and not a diploma.
