Work in accordance with available drawings, technical orders, or specifications. In comparison to the work performed by mechanics at the grade 10 level, work assignments at this level require more judgments and decisions regarding the methods and procedures for completing assignments that may involve extending the use of conventional tools and equipment, and improvising changes to techniques and procedures to reach specified parameters when aging of components or modification of circuits have changed operating conditions. The mechanics are responsible for knowing and judging the impact of repairs, i.e., the effects that changes and adjustments will have on the related integral devices of the equipment serviced. They are also responsible for making further tests and alignments to insure that the completed equipment is aligned and functioning properly. The mechanics plan the work sequence and determine that equipment meets the requirements for serviceability, especially when working in remote user locations. They also are responsible for applying sound judgment in decisions that contribute toward greater operating life and efficient operations. The mechanics at this level must keep abreast of technological changes in the occupation, and provide technical guidance and assistance to lower grade employees. Technical advice is available on unusually difficult problems. Completed work is spot checked for compliance with accepted trade practices and specifications.They coordinate their efforts with technical and professional personnel on matters affecting installation or operating specifications and changes to equipment. The supervisor assigns work orally and through written instructions that outline the purpose of the work and possible approaches. Work is reviewed by occasional spot checks, review of documentation developed, and successful check out of the equipment.
