Instrument Technician

Purpose

Country is progressing towards being a manufacturing hub for the world and there will be need for trained manpower to run the automated industries of modern days. So an Instrument Technician will be more in demand in days to come. An Instrument Technician  install, repair, maintain and adjust instruments used to measure and control industrial processes such as typically used for controlling factors like the flow of gases or liquids, temperature of materials or stages of a pressure, maintained during manufacturing level of a material used, or created during a process.
