Commercial Refrigeration Engineer - Watford

Circa £57,000 Including Standby | Paid Travel | 1-in-4 Call-Out | Private Healthcare

Looking to push your earnings beyond the usual Refrigeration Engineer package? This Watford-based mobile position offers a package of around £57,000 including standby payments, with paid travel, overtime and a company vehicle.

The position is focused on commercial refrigeration service and maintenance, giving you a varied mix of planned work, breakdown response, fault diagnosis and repairs across customer sites in the region.

You'll be trusted to manage your own jobs, diagnose issues properly rather than simply changing parts and keep customers informed throughout the process. There is also plenty of scope to increase your earnings through overtime and the 1-in-4 standby rota.

The Work

Your day-to-day workload will involve keeping commercial refrigeration equipment running reliably and responding when systems don't.

You'll be responsible for:

Completing scheduled servicing and preventative maintenance
Attending refrigeration breakdowns and carrying out fault diagnosis
Repairing refrigeration systems and associated components
Investigating recurring faults and identifying underlying issues
Carrying out electrical fault-finding where required
Highlighting equipment requiring remedial or replacement work
Recording work completed through service reports and job sheets
Working to customer, company and health & safety requirements

Package

Circa £57,000 including standby payments
Paid travel
45-hour contracted week
Overtime available
1-in-4 call-out rota
Company vehicle
Fuel card
Specialist tools and PPE
33 days' annual leave including bank holidays
Private healthcare
Life assurance
Matched pension scheme
Additional employee benefits and discounts

Technical Requirements

You should have a recognised refrigeration qualification and be comfortable working independently on commercial equipment.

Essential:

NVQ Level 2 or Level 3 in Refrigeration & Air Conditioning
F-Gas Category 1
Full UK Driving Licence Additional experience that would be advantageous:

Commercial refrigeration
CO2 / R744 systems
Hydrocarbon refrigerants
Electrical fault-finding
18th Edition
IPAF

The Engineer

The key requirement is someone who can turn up to a site, identify the problem and get the equipment back into service.

You'll need to be comfortable working independently, dealing directly with customers and managing a varied workload without needing constant supervision. Reliability is particularly important given the standby element of the position.

If you're an experienced commercial refrigeration engineer in or around Watford and your current package isn't reflecting your experience, this could be worth exploring.

Apply now or get in touch for a confidential discussion about the position.
