  • Perform electrical work up to 600V-maintaining panels, breakers, motors, and lighting systems.
  • Troubleshoot and service HVAC control systems, including temperature/humidity controls, pneumatic valves, and sensors.
  • Diagnose and repair boilers, turbines, pumps, steam lines, and insulation systems.
  • Perform preventive maintenance on refrigeration and air conditioning units based on manufacturer guidelines.
  • Lead and mentor others in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and control system repairs and maintenance.
  • Work at various heights using extension ladders and high lifts, as well as in tight or confined spaces.
