Fun Factory Park, located inside the iconic Emporium Mall, Lahore, is one of Pakistan’s premier indoor amusement destinations. Established with the aim of offering entertainment, thrill, and quality family fun under one roof, the park combines modern rides, interactive games, and hospitality services within a safe, well‑maintained environment. As part of a wider entertainment complex in one of the region’s busiest shopping destinations, Fun Factory Park attracts visitors from across Lahore and beyond—families, youth groups, school excursions, and leisure seekers.
The park’s reputation is built not only on its attractions but on the operational reliability, customer service, and safety standards it upholds. Maintaining high standards requires a team of skilled professionals who keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. The mechanical systems that power the rides, moving platforms, and interactive exhibits must always function reliably. This ensures that visitors have a seamless experience and that the park continues to operate at peak reliability.
Maintenance crews at Fun Factory Park are known for their technical skill, problem‑solving ability, and meticulous attention to detail. Regular training sessions keep them up to date with safety procedures, equipment operation, and preventive maintenance practices. The maintenance team works closely with operations staff and management to ensure that all rides operate within legal and manufacturer guidelines, providing guests with both fun and safety.
Behind every successful amusement facility, there is an unsung team that works during the off‑hours, schedules maintenance during low visits, and responds to urgent technical complications quickly. Fun Factory Park prides itself on its maintenance culture—which is proactive rather than reactive—and sees its mechanical team not just as fix‑it staff, but as guardians of safety and experience.
To support this mission, Fun Factory Park is now seeking to hire a Mechanical Technician. This role will play a key part in ensuring the park’s equipment operates reliably, safely, and efficiently. The company is looking for candidates who have hands‑on experience with mechanical systems similar to amusement rides or industrial machinery, and who can troubleshoot issues quickly to keep downtime minimal.
This entry‑level role provides an excellent chance for a technician with mechanical aptitude to join a vibrant, safety‑conscious environment, work alongside seasoned professionals, and build a career in entertainment engineering. The park is designed to grow and innovate, with new rides and attractions introduced regularly, meaning the mechanical maintenance team has ongoing challenges and opportunities to expand their skills.
If you are someone who enjoys working with machinery, takes pride in keeping things in working order, and is committed to maintaining high standards of safety and reliability, the role of Mechanical Technician at Fun Factory Park offers a fulfilling and growth‑oriented career path.
Job description
The Mechanical Technician role at Fun Factory Park involves being part of the core maintenance team responsible for ensuring that all rides and mechanical attractions operate safely and efficiently. This is a full‑time, in‑person position located inside Emporium Mall, Lahore, requiring travel within the mall premises and readiness to work physical shifts, including weekends and holidays.
Primary responsibilities center on using hands‑on skills to perform routine inspections of mechanical systems. Technicians will conduct preventive maintenance according to a set schedule. This includes checking gears, hydraulic components, motors, lifts, and other mechanical parts of each ride. Early detection of wear and tear helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.
When issues arise, the technician must diagnose and repair mechanical faults promptly. This may involve replacing worn parts, tightening loose fittings, realigning tracks, adjusting belt tensions, or repairing small motors. Technical challenges might range from misaligned components causing vibration to hydraulic leaks affecting ride operation. Timely resolution is essential to minimize downtime and maintain the user experience.
Accurate record-keeping is another critical function. The technician will maintain logs of maintenance tasks performed, parts used, dates of inspection, and any anomalies noted. These records not only support safety audits but also help track recurring issues and schedule future preventive maintenance based on usage patterns.
Because safety regulations are paramount in an amusement environment, the technician is responsible for ensuring that all work complies with park safety standards and regulatory guidelines. This includes the correct use of tools, safety gear, lock‑out/tag‑out procedures, and coordination with the safety supervisors before and after maintenance activities.
Collaboration is key in a busy environment. The Mechanical Technician works closely with ride operators, maintenance planners, and the park operations team. Prior to scheduled maintenance, they coordinate with operators to shut down rides safely. If unexpected mechanical failures occur during operating hours, quick reporting allows operations managers to reroute visitors and manage queues to maintain public safety.
The park operates in a fast‑paced environment, especially during peak hours and weekends. The technician must handle physical tasks—climbing stairs, bending, lifting, working in confined spaces—and remain vigilant while working under time pressure.
Key responsibilities include:
Conduct routine mechanical inspections and preventive maintenance on rides and equipment
Diagnose and resolve mechanical faults, replacing parts, lubricating components, and adjusting mechanisms
Maintain detailed maintenance logs for each ride, component replaced, and issue resolved
Ensure all maintenance work aligns with ride manufacturer instructions and park safety rules
Coordinate with operations to minimize ride downtime and communicate outages or delays
Work with electrical or automation technicians as needed for combined system faults
Participate in safety drills and readiness assessments related to ride operation compliance
Assist in onboarding and training new maintenance staff or apprentices
Provide feedback to management and engineering teams on potential system improvements
Report repeated faults or areas of concern that may require redesign or engineering upgrades
Support park management by participating in special maintenance projects like installation of new rides, scheduled shutdowns for deep maintenance, or seasonal preparation.
This role offers active engagement with mechanical systems that are unlike typical industrial equipment: amusement rides often have complex motion, bespoke mechanisms, and dynamic loads. This creates a meaningful and professionally rewarding experience for those interested in mechanical engineering within a leisure environment.
Eligibility criteria
Candidates interested in the Mechanical Technician position at Fun Factory Park must meet a set of qualifications and personal attributes to succeed in a role that combines technical skill with physical readiness and reliability.
A minimum of one year of hands‑on experience in mechanical systems is required. This should ideally be in environments where mechanical equipment, machinery, or complex mechanical assemblies are maintained. Experience in workshops, industrial environments, or facilities where maintenance of mechanical equipment was part of daily tasks will be suitable.
Essential knowledge includes mechanical principles, usage of maintenance tools such as spanners, wrenches, aligners, grease guns, hydraulic testers, and pneumatic tools. The candidate should be familiar with mechanical inspection methods, vibration assessment, lubrication practices, wear assessment, and basic mechanical alignment techniques.
You should be comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment, including weekends and holidays. Flexibility to respond to urgent mechanical repairs outside standard hours is necessary. This requires commitment and reliability.
Strong teamwork and communication skills are essential. Technicians must coordinate closely with the park’s operations team to plan ride downtime, communicate maintenance needs, and relay safety concerns. Clear, concise communication helps avoid delays and ensures the park operates smoothly.
Having the ability to produce accurate maintenance logs and documentation is critical. Even simple handwritten or electronic logs must be legible, comprehensive, and completed during or immediately after maintenance activities. Records may be reviewed during safety audits or by ride manufacturers.
Physical fitness is an unspoken requirement. Technicians may need to climb ladders, crouch in confined spaces, lift parts or tools, and remain alert while working with moving machinery.
Adaptability and a solution-oriented mindset are important. Mechanical issues in amusement rides are often unpredictable and require quick thinking to troubleshoot. Candidates who are methodical, patient, and systematic in their approach will perform effectively.
Basic understanding of ride safety regulations or prior exposure to mechanical safety audits will be helpful. Even if not formally certified, familiarity with safety zones, emergency stops, and basic safety signage helps in operating with care.
Candidates who have previously worked in amusement parks, theme parks, or facilities with ride safety standards will be preferred. However, applicants from workshop settings or with mechanical support experience in industrial machines may be considered if they show transferable skills.
Training mindset is valued. The park maintains ongoing learning processes for safety standards, new ride installations, and manufacturer updates. Technicians able to follow structured learning, ask questions, and apply new knowledge will integrate more effectively.
Ethical integrity and reliability are important personal traits. Technicians work independently at times, managing mechanical systems without direct supervision. Trustworthiness, attention to detail, and safety consciousness are crucial.
This role is ideal for someone who has completed vocational training, diploma, or technical education with a focus on mechanical systems and who is ready to take on operational responsibilities while growing into a more responsible maintenance role over time.
