• HND/Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, HVAC Engineering, or a related field.

• Proficiency in using HVAC diagnostic tools, software, and energy management systems.
  

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in HVAC operations, maintenance, or engineering, preferably in a healthcare environment.
  
• Demonstrated experience in managing HVAC systems for specialized environments (e.g., operating rooms, laboratories).
• Hands-on experience in energy efficiency projects or green building initiatives.

System Maintenance and Performance Optimization

• Conduct routine inspections and tests of all HVAC systems, including air conditioning units, chillers, boilers, air handlers, and ventilation systems, ensuring they meet operational standards.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot system malfunctions, such as temperature inconsistencies, airflow issues, or equipment failures, and implement corrective actions promptly.
• Maintain appropriate indoor environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure, across critical areas like surgical suites, oncology wards, and diagnostic labs.
• Develop and execute a preventive maintenance schedule that minimizes equipment downtime and maximizes system performance.
• Ensure availability of spare parts and maintain an inventory of essential components to facilitate timely repairs and replacements.

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Standards

• Ensure all HVAC systems operate in compliance with healthcare-specific regulations, such as ASHRAE 170 (Ventilation in Healthcare Facilities) and local building codes.
• Collaborate with infection prevention and control teams to address HVAC requirements in isolation rooms, sterile areas, and other specialized environments.
• Conduct periodic risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential safety hazards associated with HVAC operations.
• Ensure proper handling and disposal of hazardous materials, such as refrigerants, in compliance with environmental standards.
• Maintain up-to-date documentation of system inspections, maintenance activities, and certifications for internal and external audits.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

• Monitor energy consumption of HVAC systems using building management systems (BMS) and identify opportunities for optimization.
• Implement energy-efficient technologies, such as variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, smart thermostats, and energy recovery ventilators.
• Evaluate and recommend retrofits or upgrades to aging HVAC systems to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint.
• Conduct regular analysis of energy usage trends and develop strategies to reduce operational costs while maintaining system performance.
• Collaborate with facility management and sustainability teams to meet the healthcare facility’s environmental goals and compliance with green building certifications, such as LEED.
