THE PERSON

We are looking for a technically strong and commercially minded individual who understands the realities of working within the commercial AC industry.

You will work closely with the Managing Director and have genuine responsibility for helping develop and grow the AC service department.

If you are an experienced AC Engineer, Senior Engineer, Supervisor or Service Manager looking for a role where you can have a genuine influence on the development of an expanding business, this could be an excellent opportunity.
