Most of us do not "defer" to those unknowing knuckleheads, if we did, we would never write up anything, as we would "defer" (and "infer") to their superior knowledge (their "knowledge" "may be" "superior", but their actions and installations are not)... but we are not "deferring", we are "recommending" repairs and replacements be by those knuckleheads, and which *we know* will create future problems for us to write up the next time.
I'd also be careful of trying to be all encompassing as the generalist, you don't want to be put in the position of having to say "I don't know" very often, least you come off as 'not knowing anything' you are asked.
If you are good, knowledgeable, quick thinking, and outgoing, it will all show and be a positive experience and have a positive impact for you.
