  • Supporting junior engineers or apprentices when required

You will need:

  • Valid F-Gas certification
  • Strong commercial Air Con and HVAC experience
  • Experience with split, multi-split, VRF/VRV and associated HVAC equipment

  • Experience carrying out both PPM and reactive breakdown work
  • The ability to work independently across multiple customer sites
  • Excellent communication and customer service skills
  • A professional approach to health and safety
  • A full UK driving license

Experience working across offices, retail, hospitality, leisure, healthcare, pharmaceutical, industrial or other commercial environments would be highly advantageous.

Additional qualifications such as IPAF, electrical testing, CSCS, Asbestos Awareness or Ladder Card would also be beneficial.

What's In It For You?

The salary is £45,000-£60,000 depending on experience, and this is where the package becomes particularly attractive:

  • Time and a half Monday-Saturday overtime
  • Double time Sundays and Bank Holidays
  • Door-to-door travel paid at time and a half
  • Plenty of overtime available, giving you the opportunity to increase your OTE
  • Lucrative weekly standby payment
