Heavy Equipment Repairer

Department of Defense at M.A.T.E.S
07.2004 - 09.2021
  • In comparison with heavy mobile equipment mechanics at grade10, mechanics at this level repair, overhaul, or modify vehicles and equipment that are clearly more complex, involve more complicated and varied systems, or entail unusually difficult problems because available guidelines do not apply
  • Vehicles and equipment at this level contain more numerous, interconnected, and complex mechanical and nonmechanical systems than those described at the grade10 level, and are found in such vehicles as tank retrievers, attack tanks, large missile carrying tanks, locomotives, locomotive cranes, portal or dock and floating cranes, aircraft crash cranes, and diesel electric floating derricks
  • These vehicles have a variety of interconnected systems
  • Examples include: (1) integrated electric, air, and hydraulic systems; (2) complex state-of-the-art electrical and electronic systems requiring a substantial amount of training and specialized diagnostic equipment to identify problems for replacement of standard components or for referral to electronics mechanics; (3) intricate timing requirements such as dual engines or complex fuel injections systems, e.g., those with several injectors which have precise timing sequences; (4) numerous interconnected gear-reduction systems; or (5) other similarly complex systems
  • Mechanics at this grade level have overall responsibility for a variety of systems or for the entire vehicle involving the repair, overhaul, or modification of engines, transmissions, or other major systems which are more complex than those described at the grade10 level
  • For example, systems may require difficult and unusually precise fitting and adjusting of moving parts; or more systems may be combined into a single, complex, mechanical assembly, such as crossdrive transmissions or similar multisystem transmissions
  • On a regular and recurring basis, they diagnose difficult performance problems and improvise replacement, assembly, repair, and troubleshooting techniques when standard procedures do not suffice
  • They modify components for use or placement into systems for which they were not specifically designed
  • Skill and Knowledge: Mechanics at the grade11 level apply greater skill and knowledge than mechanics at grade10 in the repair, overhaul, and modification of vehicles and equipment which are substantially more complex than those described at the grade10 level
  • For example, interconnected systems can present greater difficulty in determining the cause of the problem and in isolating the malfunction
  • Grade11 level mechanics apply greater knowledge of the principles behind the various operational systems of the heavy vehicles and equipment in diagnosing and troubleshooting malfunctions when standard procedures and existing methods do not suffice
  • They exercise a greater level of skill in the use of diagnostic equipment, including computer-controlled test equipment, to identify problems which are difficult to locate and repair
  • They develop or improvise methods, alter parts, and make repairs in the absence of technical guidelines
  • For example, they modify parts to fit and mesh into systems for which the parts were not designed; improvise modifications to equipment to correct recurring malfunctions; or design modifications to meet special test requirements or other special needs
  • They are able to use specialized diagnostic equipment to diagnose problems in complex state-of-the-art electric and electronic systems to identify and replace defective components such as chips, sensors, and printed circuit boards, or to refer more complex problems to electronics mechanics
  • U.S
  • Office of Personnel Management7 Heavy Mobile Equipment Mechanic,5803 TS-59 January1991 Grade11 level mechanics regularly apply an intensive knowledge of the characteristics of various major mechanical and nonmechanical systems more complex than those typical of the grade10 level
  • For example, they overhaul transmissions which have braking, steering, and differential systems mechanically integrated with the transmission; engines such as12-cylinder and1,000 horsepower engines, large engines with pistons which directly power multiple hydraulic and pneumatic systems, or other large multiple and interconnected engine systems; and systems which require great skill in making difficult, precise fittings and adjustments of moving parts to clearances of one ten-thousandth of an inch or closer, such as intricate fuel injection systems
  • Responsibility: Heavy mobile equipment mechanics at the grade11 level exercise significantly more judgment and independence in determining the methods and techniques required to solve unusually complex maintenance and repair problems
  • For example, they plan and improvise repair procedures, find ways to mechanically and physically adapt or alter items to fit and mesh into systems for which the items were not specifically designed, or find ways to diagnose and correct defects when existing methods and procedures do not give the desired results
  • Some mechanics may recommend modifications to engineers who have final approval authority over significant design changes
  • The supervisor assigns work orally or through work orders or schedules
  • The employee independently determines work methods, sequences, tools, and equipment to use in making the extensive and complex repairs to the vehicles and equipment described at this level
