Description:
Agricultural Engineer – A/C Service Equipment (Workshop & Field Service)
Role summary
We are seeking an Agricultural Engineer to join a specialist team supporting air-conditioning (A/C) systems used in agricultural and off-highway machinery. This is a hands-on, workshop-first role focused on building, assembling, diagnosing, fixing, and repairing A/C regas units (A/C service machines) and assembling application-specific A/C kits for customers. You will also have opportunities to carry out field service work at customer sites, including installation/commissioning support and technical troubleshooting.
This role is best suited to someone who already understands mobile A/C systems from either the automotive or agricultural sector or who can demonstrate strong transferable skills and is ready to gain the required mobile A/C refrigerant-handling qualification.
Working pattern
Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Core responsibilities
You will spend most days in the workshop, with planned customer-site visits when required.
In the workshop you will assemble, test, service, and repair A/C regas units/service machines used for mobile A/C work. This typically includes diagnosing faults through functional test cycles, restoring performance (vacuum integrity, hose/connection integrity, sensor accuracy), replacing service consumables, and returning units to service with clear documentation.
You will sometimes support the field service team at customer sites. This can include delivering/commissioning new A/C service machines, troubleshooting a customer’s machine setup, and providing practical user guidance on correct operating process and safe handling.
You will maintain clear job records (work completed, parts used, test results, and customer-facing reports where required).
What we are looking for
• Experience or strong working knowledge of mobile A/C systems from automotive, construction, plant, or off-highway equipment
• Practical engineering skills with mechanical assemblies, fittings and seals, and basic electrical fault-finding
• Confidence using hand tools and diagnostic equipment
• Clear, professional communication skills for workshop and customer-site interaction
• An organised, methodical approach to work and documentation
Qualifications
• Mobile A/C refrigerant-handling qualification held or willingness to obtain it quickly
• Understanding of safe working practices around modern refrigerants
