Broker Technician for Electro-Mechanical Industrial Maintenance


Explanation:
The challenge is "intermédio" - which in this case means 'boker" I believe. So, as this broker technician, he can analyze the problem and refer it to a specialist technician depending on the type of problem that exists.

Here are some synonyms of "intermediary":

Entry Word: mediator
Function: noun
Text: one who works with opposing sides in order to bring about an agreement <if you two cannot resolve this argument on your own, we'll have to bring in a mediator>
Synonyms arbiter, arbitrator, conciliator, go-between, intercessor, intermediary, interposer, middleman, peacemaker
Related Words moderator; bargainer, negotiator; appeaser, pacifier, reconciler; broker; agent, attorney, deputy, factor, procurator, proxy; liaison; ambassador, emissary, envoy, messenger; delegate, representative; busybody, interferer, meddler; judge, referee, umpire; adviser (or advisor), counselor

agree  Donna Sandin: I think this captures the meaning, perhaps there is a smoother way of phrasing - these sorts of titles are always hard to translate neatly
