• Diagnose, repair, and maintain split-unit HVAC equipment within competency and safety limits (filters, coils, electrical checks, resets, performance testing).
• Perform first-line troubleshooting on larger HVAC plant equipment (e.g., AHUs, ventilation systems, chilled-water circuits, associated pumps/valves/controls) to identify faults, isolate issues, and provide accurate diagnostic information to specialist vendors.

2. Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM)

• Execute PPM as per OEM and industry standards.
• Achieve zero missed PPM tasks and document completion in CMMS.

3. Reactive Maintenance & Corrective Work

4. Vendor Oversight & OHSA Compliance

• Verify vendor OHSA compliance documentation prior to work commencing.
• Conduct joint inspections with service providers and issue written technical reports on findings and solutions.
• Support vendors by providing pre-diagnostic information, system condition reports, and site observations to reduce turnaround time and improve accuracy of technical work.
