Location: MIDLANDS & NORTH UK

PLEASE NOTE: The ideal candidate will be based in or around the Greater Manchester area, with particular consideration given to those located across South Manchester, Cheshire and nearby surrounding areas. My client would also consider candidates from other suitably located areas across the wider Midlands and North, depending on experience, location and willingness to travel across the wider Northern territory.

Job Description

Are you a technically strong HVAC service engineer with proven experience in fault finding, repair, service and maintenance across chiller and wider applied HVAC systems? Do you want to join a highly respected and award-winning UK HVAC solutions business where your technical capability, professionalism and customer approach will be genuinely valued and supported? We are partnered with a market leading UK HVAC business with an outstanding reputation for delivering high quality heating, cooling and ventilation solutions across commercial, industrial and specialist environments. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and self‑motivated mobile engineer to join a growing service operation across the Midlands and North, working within a business known for technical quality, strong internal support and long‑term career development. This role will suit someone who takes pride in technical standards, enjoys working autonomously in the field and is confident representing a high‑quality business in front of customers.

The Company

My client is a successful and well‑regarded UK HVAC product, service and turnkey solutions provider with a strong reputation built through professionalism, delivery and engineering expertise. The business supports clients across a broad range of commercial, industrial and specialist built environment settings, delivering high quality HVAC solutions including chillers, heat pumps, air handling units, refrigeration, comfort cooling and associated systems. With a clear commitment to quality, service and the development of its people, my client offers a strong platform for engineers who want stability, progression and the chance to build a long‑term career in a technically credible and forward‑thinking business.

The Opportunity

Due to continued growth and increasing demand across the service side of the business, my client is looking to appoint a high calibre Chiller & HVAC Service Engineer to support service activity across the Midlands and North. Operating remotely in the field, you will be responsible for carrying out service, maintenance, fault finding, repair and general technical support across my client's equipment and, where required, other manufacturers' systems. The role will place particular emphasis on chillers, heat pumps, AHUs and dehumidification equipment, although wider exposure to air conditioning, refrigeration and associated HVAC systems will also be valuable. You will work closely with customers and internal support teams, acting as a visible and professional representative of the business while helping to maintain high service standards, technical reliability and strong customer relationships.

The Role

This is a field‑based engineering role focused on the service, repair, maintenance and fault diagnosis of chiller and wider HVAC systems across the Midlands and North UK. You will be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy while maintaining close communication with the service support team and wider internal departments. The position requires strong technical competence, sound judgement on site, a proactive attitude and the ability to deliver work to a consistently high standard across a range of customer environments, including commercial, industrial and other potentially sensitive sites.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out service, maintenance, repair and fault‑finding work across my client's and other manufacturers' chillers, heat pumps and wider HVAC equipment
• Diagnose and resolve mechanical and electrical faults to a high standard of accuracy and professionalism
• Work across applied HVAC systems including chillers, refrigeration, air conditioning, air handling and associated equipment
• Complete service activity efficiently while maintaining excellent technical and customer standards on site
• Liaise closely with customers to provide updates, technical feedback and a professional service experience
• Submit site reports, timesheets, expenses and associated paperwork accurately and within required timeframes
• Communicate effectively with the Service Manager, Service Support team and other engineers to support productivity and service response
• Maintain strong health and safety standards at all times, both internally and on customer sites
• Represent the business professionally to support its market reputation and customer relationships
• Continue building technical knowledge and product understanding in support of long‑term development

Knowledge, Skills and Experience Required

• Proven track record in the service, repair, maintenance and fault finding of chillers, heat pumps, AHUs, dehumidifiers or other applied HVAC equipment within commercial, industrial or other technically demanding environments
• Good working knowledge of broader HVAC systems such as refrigeration, air conditioning and air handling equipment
• Turbocor knowledge would be highly advantageous and may justify salary flexibility, but is not essential
• Strong electrical and mechanical fault‑finding capability
• Previous experience working autonomously in a mobile field service role
• Good communication skills and the ability to deal professionally with customers and colleagues
• Ability to work on your own initiative while remaining aligned with internal service processes
• Strong problem‑solving skills and a practical, solutions focused approach
• Health and safety awareness and commitment to best practice on site
• Computer literacy and confidence completing digital reports and service documentation
• Full UK driving licence
• FGAS certification would be advantageous
• CITB Skills Card would be advantageous
• Controls knowledge would be advantageous

The Person

This role will suit someone who enjoys responsibility, technical problem solving and the satisfaction of delivering high quality engineering work in the field. You may already be operating as a Chiller Engineer, HVAC Engineer, Refrigeration Engineer or Service Technician within a relevant commercial or industrial setting and now be looking for a role with a stronger platform, better support and greater long‑term potential. You will be someone who takes pride in technical standards, works well independently and understands the importance of professionalism, responsiveness and customer confidence on site. You will be comfortable handling service, repair and maintenance activity across a range of HVAC systems, with confidence around chillers and closely aligned equipment. Most importantly, you will want to be part of a business where engineering quality matters, where your contribution is valued and where there is genuine opportunity to grow over time.
