Description:
We’re working with a well-established refrigeration and air conditioning business who are looking to bring in a strong Refrigeration Engineer to join their growing team.
This is a properly balanced role with a commercial-heavy focus, plus some industrial exposure, and a split workload covering commercial sites and domestic AC systems (offices and residential properties).
If you’re someone who likes variety in your week rather than being stuck in one lane, this one keeps things moving.
About the role
You’ll be working across:
Commercial refrigeration systems (primary focus)
Some industrial refrigeration equipment and environments
Air conditioning installs, servicing and maintenance
Split workload across:
Commercial sites (offices, retail, light industrial)
Domestic AC systems (houses and residential installs)
Expect a hands-on mix of service, maintenance, and fault-finding with occasional install work depending on project flow.
About you
Strong background in commercial refrigeration (essential)
Some industrial experience preferred
Confident working with AC systems in both commercial and domestic settings
Solid fault-finding and diagnostic skills
Someone comfortable being out on the road and managing their own workload
A proper all-rounder who doesn’t panic when things get technical or varied
