Question about Koana (Heavensward Job spoilers)

[EdwinLi]

As other has said, he is not. However, to add to what others said this is a result of NPCs getting unique jobs that have similar traits to jobs.

This has been a thing since 2.X era as some NPCs end up training themselves so well they developing skills similar to Jobs.

Some may even end up create their own unique job for themselves that do not use Job stones.

Koana is just another one of these cases. He trained himself to master technology in Sharlayan as a way to fight which resulted in him ending up developing similar skills to Machinists.

His limit break is also a stronger version of Checkmate.
