repair technician
Fixes broken things
A repair technician is someone who diagnoses and fixes malfunctioning equipment—appliances, electronics, vehicles, or industrial machinery.
The term emphasizes hands-on troubleshooting skills rather than installation or sales: The repair technician found a faulty capacitor in the air conditioner.
