It must be remembered that the functional duties of the mechanic of the MCP also depend on the professional category of the specialist (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). So, specialists of the lower ranks are not able to perform complex and complex professional tasks. Young professionals are often assigned fairly simple functions. The higher the category, the more qualified work the specialist will be able to perform. For example, the professionals of the ITS, who were awarded the highest, 7th grade, draw up passports for equipment.
In addition to the direct duties of a specialist, the job description of a mechanic assembly work contains other chapters and subsections. So, in this respect, the most important points are "Rights" and "Responsibility". They must be carefully read before starting work.

Moreover, these requirements relate to both professional characteristics, education and work experience, and personal qualities.
Education and experience
It should be borne in mind that in order to obtain the position of an ITS specialist, you need to undergo appropriate educational training. You can get a job with or without work experience. One way or another, the employer will check not only the presence of formal signs (diploma and entry in the work book), but also actual skills. So, the mandatory competencies of a specialist include:
- the ability to read specialized drawings;
- knowledge of technical features and internal design of various devices and mechanisms;

- the ability to use measuring and control technical devices;
- the ability to perform grinding and drilling work.
In this case, you should not limit yourself to this list. The more competencies you possess, the more profitable you will stand out from the rest of the candidates for the position.
Personal qualities
In addition to professional characteristics (which, undoubtedly, play a key role), the personal characteristics of the MTS locksmith are of great importance. Remember that you are not only finding a job, but also becoming a member of an already established team. Among the main qualities of the collector are:

Growth prospects
After graduation, the young specialist is looking for work. To do this, you can use various electronic bulletin boards, official sites of employment centers, and also immediately contact the enterprises you are interested in. At the same time, it is very important to be able to correctly compose a resume and a cover letter that will make a positive impression on a potential employer.

How much can you earn?
The salary of an ITS locksmith depends on a number of factors. Material remuneration is directly proportional to the category of a specialist, his level of education and work experience. Besides, the salary depends on the region of residence: in the capital and large cities, the mechanic of the MSW receives much more than in the provinces. Another factor is the specific place of work: workers in the private sector earn more than those who work in state enterprises.
If we talk about the average salary level of a professional, then they range from 30,000 to 45,000 rubles, but this is not the final figure.
Where to study?
In order to obtain the specialty of a mechanic for an MSW, you need to go through an appropriate training program.Such programs are available in secondary vocational educational institutions (for example, in technical schools and colleges). At the same time, preference should be given to educational institutions located in large cities or the capital. In addition, it is necessary that they have a technical direction. Suitable training programs may be named Locksmith or Master Plumbing. A school student who wants to receive such vocational training must definitely visit the admissions office of the educational institution of interest to him in order to find out what exams he needs to take for admission. The profession is suitable for young people who are interested in the exact sciences: physics and mathematics.
When choosing an educational institution, you should pay attention to the following parameters:
- the position of the educational institution in professional circles;
- the quality of theoretical training;
- material and technical equipment;
- the level of the teaching staff;
- the presence of practices and internships;
- cooperation with enterprises, etc.
It should be borne in mind that the learning process itself is complex: it will require a lot of attention, time and effort from the student. In general, the term of study is about 3 years. At the same time, you need to be as careful and responsible as possible, not forgetting that when applying for a job, many employers may require you not only the diploma itself, but also an extract with grades. The higher the grade point average, the more likely you are to get the desired position. Especially when it comes to employment at a large prestigious enterprise.
Another way to get the desired education is retraining and taking specialized professional courses. But this is only possible with basic education. In addition, some enterprises open their doors to young people who can get a profession directly in production. This way, you can make a living and get a professional education at the same time.
The educational activity of the ITS locksmith does not end after receiving a diploma of secondary education. You will have to attend various events and courses to improve your qualifications, rank and, accordingly, wages.
Nowadays, there is no demand for a mechanic assembly work. Employers don't even know the difference in what kind of locksmith you are. If you are a mechanic of the ITS of the 6th category, they answer by phone: "We need an assembly fitter, but you will not be able to work with us." That's all the demand. The level of wages is very low, no one observes the Labor Code. Or they come up with new professions: a mechanic-welder, for example. The most demanded locksmith profession now is a plumber: there are a lot of offices around, you need to maintain.
