PASSIVE VOICE

Passive, porque la acción del verbo no la realiza el sujeto (I), sino "the technician" (va introducido por "by...). Yo (I) es quien se beneficia de dicha acción.
Cuando nos beneficiamos de ciertas acciones porque alguien las hace por nosotros, utilizamos la estructura "have/get something done".
