GENERAL DESCRIPTION: HVAC Mechanic I: Perform entry-level heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) work. Required to learn and apply the developing technology of microprocessor control systems as they are installed in the different facilities. Works under close supervision, with minimal latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment. HVAC Mechanic II: Perform complex (journey level) heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) mechanic work. Work involves operation, maintenance, and repair of mechanical and electrical / DDC control systems and components of HVAC equipment including steam and hot water boilers, and cooling towers in medium and large buildings. Required to learn and apply the developing technology of microprocessor control systems as they are installed in the different facilities. Works under general supervision, with limited latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment. HVAC Mechanic III: Performs advanced (senior-level) heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) work. Work involves operation, maintenance, and repair of mechanical and electrical / DDC control systems and components of HVAC equipment including steam and hot water boilers, and cooling towers in medium and large buildings. Required to learn and apply the developing technology of microprocessor control systems as they are installed in the different facilities. Instruct and guide the work of other HVAC mechanics and contractors while maintaining a work team atmosphere in order to accomplish large and difficult maintenance or repair projects. Works under limited supervision, with moderate latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment. ESSENTIAL DUTIES / RESPONSIBILITIES: HVAC Mechanic I: 1.
