EXPERIENCE

  • Commercial Air Conditioning Units
  • I have carried out routine maintenance and repair services on air conditioning units. These range from relatively minor and routine monthly services, to detailed major annual services. Types of equipment serviced include:
  • 1 Pumps, fans, compressors, evaporators, condensers, cooling towers, and evaporative condenser components;
  • 2 Hot water boilers – fan forced and atmospheric
  • 3 Gas, electric, and oil burners
  • 4 Ductwork and components including: electric heaters, valves and coils, dampers and damper motors;
  • 5 Control systems associated with all the above
  • I have attended several training courses on Building Control Systems conducted by equipment manufacturers e.g. Liebert's computer room packaged units (1 day), Fujitsu Packaged split systems (1 day), Multi stack units (1 day). Each course covered both plant and control systems.
  • I am also experienced in fault finding, which is an essential part of the maintenance and repair process. This experience, together with the above, has given me the skills necessary to efficiently and effectively carry out air conditioning unit maintenance and repair duties, and also given me a good understanding of associated building control systems.
  • Excellent Customer Liaison
  • As part of my work I continually deal with clients on a wide variety of situations ranging from simple enquiries to those of a more complex nature. This includes discussions regarding service reports, maintenance costs, unforeseen maintenance of repair requirements, and associated costs. I do this with politeness, accuracy and fairness, taking into account clients’ concerns and their level of knowledge (generally technical) of the subject.
  • Proven track record of controlling costs
  • Major equipment purchase costs are generally controlled by senior management and the client; however, I have authority to make purchases. I make these purchases in consultation with the client. I endeavor to make the most cost-effective purchase for the client to ensure optimum plant operation.
  • I plan my months work to complete all routine services within the time allocated by senior management.
  • Also I endeavor to keep operational costs e.g. phones and fuel to a minimum where possible, continually look for ways to improve efficiency and cut costs.
