About the role
A maintenance engineering intern helps technicians keep packaging equipment safe and available. The interview covers basic mechanical knowledge, disciplined fault observation and planned maintenance support. The panel wants an intern who asks before acting, respects isolation controls and keeps useful records.
How to prepare
- Revise bearings, belts, chains, lubrication, alignment and common signs of wear.
- Review safe isolation, guarding and the limits of an intern's authority.
- Prepare a mechanical project where you diagnosed or prevented a fault.
- Think through how machine history can help distinguish a repeated fault from a new one.
- Practise writing a short maintenance note with the symptom, checks, action and result.
Common mistakes
- Opening a guard or reaching into equipment before safe isolation.
- Replacing a part without checking why it failed.
- Using vague records such as fixed machine with no symptom or action noted.
