HVAC Engineer

About the Role

RG Setsquare is recruiting on behalf of a leading facilities management contractor for an experienced HVAC Technician to join their team covering the M40 corridor between Coventry and Oxford.

This is a field-based role working on a high-profile large retail estate - a busy, well-supported environment where the standard of technical delivery genuinely matters. You will be responsible for planned and reactive HVAC and gas maintenance across a portfolio of large-format retail sites, working to clear SLAs and high expectations of customer service.

The package is one of the strongest we are currently marketing for this type of role: a total salary of £47k inclusive of standby payment, with overtime, paid travel time, 33 days holiday, private healthcare, life insurance, and pension on top.

What You'll Be Doing

Completing the planned preventive maintenance (PPM) schedule across your allocated sites, ensuring all paperwork is completed accurately and to the required procedures
Responding promptly to reactive service calls and alarm requests from the central helpdesk, assessing job requirements and carrying out repairs within agreed response times
Servicing and maintaining a wide range of HVAC assets including air handling units with gas-fired heating, LPHW systems, DX coils, heat pump systems, single split air conditioning, LPHW boilers, pumps, inverters, DHW boilers, and water chillers
Identifying non-repairable faults in plant and machinery and making clear recommendations to your line manager regarding suitable replacements
Updating job and call status on the client's CAFM system following every site visit
Delivering all work in full compliance with Health, Safety & Environmental policies
Representing the business professionally with client site teams at all times - a friendly, can-do approach is as important here as the technical ability

What We're Looking For

Commercial gas qualifications - as a minimum: COCN1, CCCN1, CIGA1, CORT1, ICPN1, BMP1, CCP1, TPCP1, TPCP1A

The ideal candidate will also bring:

Proven experience in HVAC and gas maintenance within a multi-site commercial or retail FM environment
A professional, customer-focused approach - you will be working in live retail environments and dealing with site managers daily
Strong self-management skills - comfortable planning your own day and hitting response time SLAs without close supervision
A positive, flexible attitude and willingness to travel daily across the M40 corridor patch
