Why technology can change this work

  • AI improves fault diagnostics and job planning but does not perform all physical repairs
  • AI generates design options and assists calculations
  • digital twins accelerate testing
  • routine documentation and component selection can be automated

What protects the occupation

  • work in confined, old and unpredictable sites
  • fine motor skills and safe physical intervention
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • system reliability and safety accountability
  • real constraints of materials and equipment
  • integration of mechanics, electronics and software
