    • Avoid unauthorized changes to temperature, humidity, airflow, and critical-area HVAC settings.
      D. Documentation and Reporting

      • Maintain preventive maintenance checklists, breakdown reports, equipment logbooks, and service records.
      • Record temperature and humidity readings wherever required.
      • Update maintenance activities and complaint closure details in the designated system or register.
      • Report recurring faults and recommend corrective or improvement measures.
        E. Energy and Equipment Efficiency

        • Ensure HVAC equipment operates efficiently and avoid unnecessary energy consumption.
        • Monitor unusual noise, vibration, leakage, high power consumption, and reduced cooling performance.
        • Support energy-saving initiatives without compromising patient comfort or clinical requirements.
          F. Coordination and Support

          • Coordinate with the Shift Engineer, HVAC Supervisor, BMS team, and external service providers.
          • Support equipment overhauling, installation, commissioning, and replacement activities.
          • Assist in contractor supervision and verify completion of assigned maintenance activities.
          • Perform shift duties and emergency call-outs as assigned by the reporting manager. 4. Educational Qualification
            • ITI in Refrigeration Air Conditioning (RAC), Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, or an equivalent technical qualification. 5. Experience
              • 2-5 years of experience in HVAC operation and maintenance.
              • Experience in a hospital, healthcare facility, hotel, or large commercial building is preferred.
              • Practical experience with AHUs, FCUs, VRF/VRV systems, chillers, ventilation, and air-conditioning equipment is desirable. 6. Required Technical Skills
                • Knowledge of HVAC equipment operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
                • Understanding of refrigeration cycles, electrical controls, motors, and basic electrical safety.
                • Ability to identify cooling, airflow, condensate drainage, and temperature-control issues.
                • Basic knowledge of BMS monitoring and HVAC control systems.
                • Ability to read equipment manuals, maintenance checklists, and technical drawings. 7. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
                  • Timely completion of preventive maintenance schedules.
                  • Response and resolution time for HVAC complaints.
                  • Reduction in recurring breakdowns and equipment downtime.
                  • Compliance with temperature and humidity requirements in critical areas.
                  • Accuracy of maintenance records and equipment logbooks.
                  • Compliance with hospital safety, infection-control, and permit-to-work procedures.
                  • Equipment reliability and energy-efficient operation. 8. Reporting Structure
                    Reports to: HVAC Supervisor / Shift Engineer / Assistant Manager - Engineering, as per the approved organization structure. 9. Job Requirements
