maintenance engineer
Facility repair specialist
A maintenance engineer is a worker responsible for keeping equipment, systems, or facilities in working order—inspecting, repairing, and performing preventive maintenance.
The title often elevates what might otherwise be called a repairman, technician, or janitor: The building's maintenance engineer fixed the boiler.
In some contexts, particularly industrial settings, the role genuinely involves engineering knowledge and complex mechanical systems.
