English term

plant fitter

English to French Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Occupation
It's the occupation of the groom on a marriage certificate from 1973.
"Plant fitter (civil engineers)"

I'm really unsure of the French term to use.

I've found the following explanation: A plant fitter is a skilled tradesperson who maintains and repairs heavy machinery used in construction, mining, agriculture and other industries. They're responsible for diagnosing and fixing mechanical problems, replacing worn parts and ensuring that equipment operates safely and efficiently.

Given the job description, I think a maintenance technician is a better fit than a simple machinist or fitter, especially as job titles have changed over time and training requirements are becoming more demanding.

A technician has specialised knowledge and skills and is primarily responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of systems, machines and equipment while following the relevant safety measures. Technicians often work with other specialists, such as electricians, engineers and computer scientists.

Broad technical knowledge enables technicians to perform their duties, such as equipment repairs and installations, efficiently. As a specialist, it's your responsibility to understand the machines and equipment in your industry – including their uses, parts and maintenance requirements.

Technicians and engineers are two career options that share some similarities, including the fact that both jobs are seen across a variety of industries. Some people use the terms technician and engineer interchangeably; however, there are several differences in these positions.
Some technician positions require individuals to hold only a high school diploma or its equivalent. Other technician positions require an associate's degree or another form of post-secondary education such as a bachelor's degree from a university or college.
:
An engineer is a professional who has all of the same capabilities of a technician but who also have several more responsibilities that are at a higher level than those performed by technicians.
