We're recruiting for an experienced Refrigeration Engineer to join a well-established commercial vehicle maintenance operation.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled refrigeration engineer to work on a variety of transport refrigeration systems, with ongoing training, development and excellent long-term career opportunities.

Experienced HGV and LCV Technicians with a strong mechanical or electrical background may also be considered, with full training and support available to develop into a specialist Refrigeration Engineer.

You will be responsible for the inspection, servicing, maintenance and repair of transport refrigeration systems fitted to HGVs, trailers and light commercial vehicles.

Duties will include:

• Servicing and repairing transport refrigeration units across various makes and models

• Installing refrigeration units to trailers, HGVs and LCVs
• Carrying out preventative maintenance and inspections
• Working independently at customer sites and away from the workshop

• Supporting other workshop team members and apprentices when required
• Maintaining high standards of health and safety and workshop cleanliness
