Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Diploma)

  • Routine preventive maintenance schedules — execute independently, including motor inspections, belt checks, and fluid top-offs, across multiple building systems.
  • Mechanical malfunctions — diagnose using observation, basic testing instruments, and repair manuals with minimal oversight in a facility maintenance environment.
  • Hand tools, levels, and plumb bobs — apply with accuracy to adjust functional parts and control instruments during equipment calibration tasks.
  • Wiring, plumbing, and mechanical components — repair and reinstall using appropriate tools and electrical testing devices in commercial building settings.
  • Parts and supply orders — prepare and submit from catalogs or supplier portals, verifying specifications against equipment requirements without supervisory prompting.
  • Blueprints and technical schematics — interpret independently to identify correct repair approaches for moderately complex mechanical or structural issues.
  • Scheduling and prioritization — manage a daily maintenance workload using calendar and scheduling software to meet facility operational deadlines.
  • Equipment performance data — monitor using operations control software, identifying deviations from normal parameters and escalating as appropriate.
  • Preventive and corrective maintenance records — maintain accurately in a computerized maintenance management system to support compliance and audit readiness.
  • Minor electrical and HVAC components — assemble and replace following code-compliant procedures in occupied commercial or light-industrial facilities.
