Andy.. Earlier in my carrer i worked alot in steam generating plants and seen lots of constrution crews coming thru doing the conduit and wire pulling work. and seen some of them try/apply for openings as maintance workers with us regs. the only ones that had the knowledege to be maintance guys were they ones that got in on testing out of the project, that is where you will learn motor controls and plc's. so yes you need to that the classes and get your employer to get you in on the test out part of jobs. just my advice, good luck, got add what all the stuff that C Wyatt said is very true of maintance verses contruction, you do have to know how many hanger to put on a conduit and wire fill to get a license, but if you know how to make the equiptment work again once it breaks down you can go anywhere and get a job
