You’ll be carrying out maintenance and repairs on VRV/VRF systems, splits, chillers, and AHUs from top manufacturers like Daikin, Mitsubishi, and Toshiba. That includes diagnosing faults, quoting and completing remedials, and handling all site documentation. You'll also represent the business professionally when speaking with clients, and occasionally support apprentices on-site.

What You’ll Need to Have

• F-Gas Category 1 (C&G 2079) — essential
• C&G/NVQ Level 2+ in Air Con & Refrigeration (preferred)
• Proven experience with VRV/VRF, splits, and ideally chillers or AHUs
• Confident communicator with solid site reporting skills
• Comfortable working independently and across multiple sites
• Full UK driving licence
• Ideally based near East London or Swindon

What’s in It for You

• £46,000 – £50,000 base salary (depending on experience)
• Regular paid overtime
• Company van (with personal use)
• 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays
• Phone, laptop, and specialist tools provided
• Manufacturer and internal training courses
• Career progression opportunities
• Company pension scheme
• Supportive, engineer-first work culture
