What employers look forFrom the Hydraulic Systems Technician guide
Most people come in from a trade. Apprentices in plant, agricultural, offshore or industrial hydraulics move across easily, as do ex-military fitters. Employers want a recognised mechanical qualification, hands-on fault-finding and a clean, careful approach on finished interiors. Manufacturer training from companies such as Naiad, Quantum or CMC Marine counts for a lot, as do fluid power certifications. If you want to join a crew, you need STCW Basic Safety and an ENG1.
