What should you know about define the hiring problem?
A multi-craft title is a starting point, not a completed assessment. Ask what the person repaired recently and where their work stopped. Some technicians are strong mechanically but need electrical support. Others diagnose controls faults well but have little experience with alignment or rotating equipment. Match the actual coverage your shift needs.
What should you know about separate the responsibilities?
Follow a breakdown from the first symptom. What did the technician observe before replacing anything? Which evidence ruled out an electrical problem or a mechanical problem? Ask how they knew the repair addressed the cause. A story made entirely of replaced components does not show how the person diagnosed the fault.

What should you know about test the evidence?
PLC exposure needs a precise meaning. Reading an alarm, watching inputs online and editing logic are different activities. Check what the person was authorized to do on running equipment. Do not reward a story about bypassing a safety function simply because production restarted. Safe limits belong in the skill assessment.
What should you know about make the conditions clear?
A maintenance certificate can support the conversation but cannot replace it. Ask which work the technician has performed independently on equipment resembling yours. Verify the credentials relevant to the assignment and the authorization your plant requires. A current credential does not establish familiarity with every machine or local electrical requirement.

What should you know about use a practical interview?
Give the hiring team a consistent practical discussion. Use a fault with enough information to reveal the candidate's method, not a trick question tied to undocumented quirks. Ask what they would check next and why. Their sequence, isolation discipline and escalation choices tell you more than a confident guess.
