📍 South East / Thames Valley / London
💰 £50,000–£55,000 basic | £65,000–£75,000 OTE
🚐 Door-to-door pay + van (personal use)

👋 About the Role

We’re looking for Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Engineers to join a growing team across the South East and London.

Whether you’re an experienced engineer or looking to step up into more technical environments, this is a chance to work on a wide range of systems, including high-profile and critical sites like data centres and commercial buildings.

You’ll be part of a supportive team where your development is taken seriously, and no two days are the same.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

  • Service, maintenance and repair of refrigeration and cooling systems
  • Working on equipment such as chillers, AHUs, CRAC units and pumps
  • Occasional install and project work
  • Building strong relationships with clients on-site
  • Taking part in a 1-in-6 on-call rota (well paid and structured)

✅ What We’re Looking For

We’re open to a range of experience levels. Ideally, you’ll have:

  • Experience in refrigeration, air conditioning, or HVAC
  • F-Gas certification (or working towards it)
  • A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to learn
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Full UK driving licence

Nice to have (but not essential):

  • Chiller experience
  • Formal qualifications (NVQ / City & Guilds)
  • Experience in critical environments (e.g. data centres)

💰 What You’ll Get

  • £50,000–£55,000 basic salary
  • £65,000–£75,000 realistic earnings (door-to-door travel paid)
  • Company van + fuel card (personal use included)
  • 28 days holiday + bank holidays
  • 5% pension contribution
  • Private medical insurance
  • Bi-annual bonus scheme

On-call package:

  • £150 per week standby
  • Minimum 4 hours paid per callout (overtime rate)

🚀 Why Join Us?

  • Work on a variety of equipment and major manufacturers
  • Get exposure to data centres and critical infrastructure
  • Ongoing training and career development (including electrical, controls, and leadership pathways)
  • Supportive team environment—not just “another engineer on the rota”
  • Real opportunities to progress as the company grows
