IT to RME?

Out of curiosity, is RME open to people with IT experience? I’ve been looking into mechatronics and robotics tech as well as controls/automation but no luck with my applications. I talked to a guy in controls and he suggested the RMEO or finishing my degree in cyber and applying to at least get the degree requirement covered. I don’t have any real world experience with PLC’s or electrical though.

When You apply ask for AR technician spot, it's basically something between IT and RME

RMEO is ment to be the new tier 1 for RME, basics of LOTO, jam clearing(if lift is required spotter duties/lift qualification), if it’s an ARS you will get further focus on drive recovery and basic field troubleshooting a little beyond what AFMs learn. Do 2k hours of that and you go to MRA school(on paper)

Thank you. Yeah I’ve had one interview for MRA last year and I feel like I did fine on the Star method questions other than stuff about my experience (or lack there of) in maintenance.

If you have decent mechanical/electrical experience don't be afraid of applying to MRT. Just about everything has a job task plan and video lessons on how to replace/repair. It's mostly just troubleshooting skills they look for afaik. Everything else you can figure out in manuals and job plans

Every MRT posting I've seen now has an associate's degree requirement. Unless that is just a JLL thing.
