A Leading Specialist in temporary temperature control and rapid-deployment HVAC hire solutions is expanding its operations and seeking a highly skilled Chiller Engineer to cover the Midlands and wider UK operations from their Redditch depot. This is a pivotal role offering the chance to lead complex installations, commissioning, and reactive fault-finding on large-scale air-cooled chillers across critical commercial and industrial environments.
The Opportunity:
You will play a vital role in providing fast, reliable temporary cooling and temperature control solutions to protect client operations during planned outages and critical plant failures. Your day-to-day remit involves:
Executing the installation, commissioning, servicing, and decommissioning of temporary commercial air-cooled chillers and chilled water systems.
Delivering reactive breakdown response and diagnostic fault-finding on complex chiller plant and associated secondary chilled water distribution circuits.
Supporting depot operations in Redditch when not deployed in the field, including workshop servicing, testing, equipment prep, and yard-based maintenance.

Mobility: Daily commutable access to the Redditch depot for yard-based duties, with full flexibility for nationwide site travel, varied weather conditions, and occasional overnight stays (typically 1–2 nights for complex installations).

Competitive base salary tailored to industry experience, complemented by substantial overtime and enhanced out-of-hours pay rates.
