When: Provides expertise for more complicated maintenance tasks or when organization and oversight is required and time is of the essence for fast repairs.
Where: Provides on-site expertise to aid craftsmen to solve non-standard repairs without hands-on tool contact. Maintenance engineers serve as liaison with reliability engineers.
