Class Concept
This is technical work in the analysis of the more complex construction, modification, or repair problems in building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment or systems. Positions in this class independently troubleshoot heating, ventilation, or air conditioning problems, recommend parts needed and work procedures, and serve as working supervisors in the construction, modification, or repair. Positions review the heating or cooling requirements of existing buildings, compare these requirements to existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, and recommend modifications to achieve better system effectiveness and efficiency. Positions often serve as technical experts in one or more areas of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning field such as absorption and centrifugal chillers or electrical, pneumatic, and electronic controls, through advising other mechanics on repair problems and providing training in their areas of expertise. Work is performed independently usually under the general supervision of an air conditioning supervisor and is reviewed through the proper operation of equipment and the effectiveness of repairs.
