Refrigeration Engineer

Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Engineer

North West

£19.00 - £25.00 per hour DOE | 38-Hour Week | Door-to-Door Travel | Overtime | Company Van

An established HVAC and refrigeration contractor is looking for an experienced Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Engineer to join its mobile service team covering the North West.
This is a genuinely mixed AC and refrigeration position, working across a varied commercial portfolio including office blocks, small supermarkets, distribution sites, staff canteens and other commercial premises.
The business is flexible on background. Engineers with stronger air conditioning experience will be considered from around £19.00 per hour, with rates increasing up to £25.00 per hour for engineers with good commercial refrigeration service and fault-finding experience.

With a 38-hour working week, paid door-to-door travel and overtime available, there is good earning potential without relying on excessive contracted hours.

The Role
You'll be carrying out planned and reactive maintenance across both commercial air conditioning and refrigeration equipment throughout the North West.
The work is varied. One day could involve servicing VRV/VRF and split systems within an office building, with the next involving a refrigeration breakdown at a small supermarket, cold room or distribution site canteen.
You'll be responsible for servicing, PPM, fault finding and reactive repairs, managing your workload across your allocated sites.
The refrigeration side isn't focused on large supermarket pack systems. It's more typical commercial refrigeration including cold rooms, display refrigeration, integral units and refrigeration equipment found within smaller retail and catering environments.

Key Responsibilities

Service, maintain and repair commercial air conditioning and refrigeration systems.
Carry out planned preventative maintenance and reactive breakdowns.
Diagnose electrical and refrigeration faults and complete repairs.
Work across commercial AC equipment including:
Split and multi-split systems
VRV / VRF systems

Work across commercial refrigeration equipment including:
Cold rooms and freezer rooms

Refrigeration equipment within commercial kitchens and canteens
Attend sites including office blocks, distribution centres, supermarkets, canteens and other commercial properties.

Participate in the 1 in 7 standby rota.
What You'll Need

Previous experience as an Air Conditioning Engineer, Refrigeration Engineer, HVAC Engineer or AC & Refrigeration Service Engineer.
F-Gas Category 1 certification.
NVQ Level 2 or Level 3 in Refrigeration & Air Conditioning, or equivalent industry qualification.
Experience servicing and fault finding on commercial air conditioning systems.
Experience with splits, multi-splits and VRV / VRF equipment.
Full UK Driving Licence.
Commercial refrigeration experience is highly desirable and will be reflected in the salary offered.
Engineers with a mainly AC background but some refrigeration experience will still be considered.
What's On Offer

£19.00 to £25.00 per hour depending on experience.
Higher rates available for engineers with stronger commercial refrigeration experience.
38-hour working week.
Door-to-door travel paid.
Regular overtime available.
1 in 7 standby rota with additional call-out payments.
Company van.
Fuel card.
Mobile phone and tablet.
25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays.
Company pension.
Ongoing technical training and development.
Long-term permanent position.
About the Business
The company provides HVAC, air conditioning and refrigeration maintenance across a long-standing portfolio of commercial sites throughout the UK.
The North West team supports a particularly varied mix of sites, so this isn't a role where you'll be carrying out the same PPMs on the same equipment every day.
There's a good combination of AC and refrigeration work, making it particularly well suited to an engineer who already works across both disciplines or an AC Engineer who has built up commercial refrigeration experience and wants to do more of it.
