- Troubleshoot HVAC/BAS systems; respond to alarms; maintain logs and daily labor records.
- Monitor/measure HVAC filter pressure drop; replace as needed; clean coils/coils/evaporators/condeners.
- Maintain lyophilization/manufacturing/research environment systems using BAS; follow change control.
- Operate refrigerant recovery/recycling/reclaiming equipment; obtain required certifications.
- Support training, HAZOPs/Kaizen/lean six-sigma initiatives, estimates, spare parts/tool recommendations, and safety permits.
Equipment/Abilities:
- Work with tools/equipment including oxyacetylene torch, cleaning equipment, gauges, measuring devices, radios, vacuum pumps, rigging tools, and BAS leak detection/recovery/recycling systems.
- Read refrigeration/HVAC drawings and control schematics; upload/download BAS programs; mechanical aptitude.
Qualifications/Requirements:
- High school diploma or GED.
- Universal Refrigerant Certification.
- Plus one pathway: HVAC/R refrigeration trade school (6 months/650 hrs) + 3 years recent full-time experience; OR approved apprentice program; OR equivalent military training + 3 years; OR prior company HVAC/R mechanic role within last 7 years; OR shorter trade program (3 months/325 hrs) + 5 years; OR no formal education + 10 years.
