Never stop learning. As technicians we must always learn and engage in training. Waiting until you struggle doing what we do may put you behind. Always stay a step ahead in growing.

How does a mechanic turn out to be a Fractional Operations Manager? Yes, you read that right a mechanic. My first job out of high school was as a mechanic. I was the only female mechanic in my year at TAFE, I had to work twice as hard as the gents. But I was also one of the luckiest. Lucky because It took me 50 interviews and rejections before I found a great boss willing to give a girl a go. While the others knocked me back because of it. This gave me insane resilience. What did I learn? I learnt to ask a lot of questions and why was this important? Because working on cars you need to be great at asking questions to find the issue people are having with their cars to diagnose the fault. The car making some noise wasn’t enough to distinguish where to look. You needed specifics where when how long, hot cold etc This was one thing I excelled at diagnostics. Problem-solving and putting puzzles together was my favourite part of being a mechanic. This is where I started to develop my skills of asking the right questions. It's why I ask so many today. Each question shows me another puzzle piece. This career led me into different industries and I often became the fixer wherever I went. The original plan was to use my trade to join the fire brigade. It didn’t quite pan out that way Instead, I became a corporate firefighter. When shit broke or was on fire I was one of the ones to run towards it and fix it. So now as a Fractional Operations Manager I hold the hose and put out those fires, find where they started, ask the right questions and fix the issue that caused it in the first place. This is why Businesses work with me. I don’t just put out the spot fires for the owner, I fix the cause. Then keep it all running smoothly while helping you grow.

Technician Spotlight: Roger M. How did you start working in the maintenance industry? In high school, I took a couple of classes in this field, and after joining the military, I have been working in maintenance ever since. What do you enjoy about your shop or working at MF? I appreciate the team cohesion and how we come together as a family to solve problems on a piece of equipment. What advice do you have for a new employee? Don't be afraid to ask questions, especially if you don't know the answer. Many people are afraid to ask questions, but it's the biggest thing to learn. What do you wish others knew about what it's like to be a technician? I wish people knew that there is a distinction between a technician and a mechanic. A technician is capable of diagnosing a technical issue and resolving it, whereas a mechanic is typically given a solution to repair what's in front of them. What are your future goals? I aspire to become a Trailer Manager while also gaining more knowledge in the diesel side, so that I can provide support for both the trailer and tractor. This cross-training will help me be a better leader and an essential part of the team.

In the diesel industry, there's an ongoing discussion regarding the distinction between a diesel mechanic and a diesel technician. Here are the key points to consider: - A diesel mechanic primarily handles the mechanical aspects of a diesel engine, whereas a diesel technician deals with both the mechanical and electrical components. - With modern semi-trucks incorporating advanced technology, proficiency in both mechanical and electrical systems is essential for anyone working on these vehicles. The titles of mechanic and technician are often used interchangeably in this context. Interested in diving deeper into this topic?
