Chiller Service Engineer

An excellent opportunity for an experienced Chiller Service Engineer to join a well-established company

Job Title: Chiller Service Engineer (Service & Maintenance)

Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent.

Salary: £42,000 - £50,000 Per Annum, Depending on Experience.

Location: Birmingham & Midlands.

About The Company:

Birmingham-based chiller specialist. They handle sales, hire, service and maintenance for industrial and commercial sites across the region, including manufacturing, injection moulding, breweries, food production and data centres. Most of their work falls within 70 miles of the city, and they provide 24/7 breakdown cover for the customers who need it.

They are looking for an experienced Service Engineer to join their team.

About The Role:

Field-based service and maintenance work across customer sites. You will be diagnosing faults, carrying out planned maintenance and responding to breakdowns on process and comfort cooling systems, from small process chillers up to large industrial plant.

We are a small team, so everyone mucks in. Some days that means a straightforward maintenance visit, some days it means a breakdown that keeps you there until it is fixed. If that sounds fine to you, you will fit in well here.

Key Responsibilities:

• Fault diagnosis and repair on process and comfort cooling systems, from small process chillers up to large industrial plant
• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance and F-Gas checks
• Commissioning and re-commissioning work
• Flagging remedial works and keeping customers informed on site
• Completing service reports and keeping job records straight
• Taking part in the shared on-call rota for out-of-hours support
• Lending a hand to the rest of the team when it is needed

What they are looking for:

• F-Gas Category 1
• A full UK driving licence and
• A track record on chillers or industrial refrigeration plant.

Beyond the certificates, the quality they really care about is diagnostic ability: someone who can confidently fault find.

Just as important is attitude. They want someone reliable who turns up, gets the job done properly, is decent with customers and pulls their weight for the rest of the team.

The following are all useful, but none of them are essential:

• Electrical qualifications (17th / 18th Edition)
• Experience with glycol systems, water chillers or heat pumps
• Process cooling in a manufacturing environment
• IPAF, PASMA or CSCS

What it is like to work there

They are a small firm and everyone knows everyone. If something is not working, you can say so and it will get changed, because there is no head office to raise a ticket with and no six-week wait.

Nobody here says that is not my job. Everybody helps each other out, and the ones who have been here a while are happy to share what they know.

They invest properly in training and certification. The team here is settled, the work is steady, and the customers are long-standing.

The package

• £42,000 – £50,000 depending on experience
• Company van, including personal use
• On-call allowance paid on top, plus proper overtime rates
• Ongoing training and certification support
• Established business with steady, year-round work
