Technical interviews usually test more than theory. Employers want to see problem-solving, practical judgment, communication, safety awareness and how clearly you can explain your past work.
Study the job description
Pick out the core skills and responsibilities most likely to come up.
Prepare real examples
Use short examples that cover the situation, your responsibility, what you did and what happened.
Refresh the core concepts
Review the tools, systems, methods or standards that matter for this specific role.
Practice explaining trade-offs
Be ready to say why you chose an approach, how you handled constraints and what you learned.
Bring good questions
Ask about team structure, project goals, expectations for the first few months and how performance is judged.
Preparation works best when it's specific to the role. Explain your own experience clearly and accurately rather than memorizing generic answers.
