Olive Air engineers work with leading manufacturers such as Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba, Fujitsu, and Hitachi.

The role also involves fault finding and diagnostics, performing planned preventative maintenance, advising clients on system operation and efficiency, and ensuring all work complies with health, safety, and environmental standards. This is a full-time remote role, requiring travel to customer sites within the company’s service areas and regular communication with the central office and wider engineering team.
