We have our own, bespoke City and Guilds accredited training centre. Last year, we delivered training to 117 engineers on service and maintenance, commissioning, brazing, refrigeration, water chillers, and more.

We believe strongly in providing training for our employees and courses are constantly reviewed and developed, allowing us to stay up to date with current technology and ways of working.

Our client sites include a wide range of industrial and commercial premises such as food processing, offices, pharmaceuticals, domestic, and many more. This branch does predominantly air conditioning, plus some refrigeration on varying scales.

We hold the highest accreditations with the best-known brands such as Danfoss, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Panasonic and Fujitsu. This gives our engineers access to the latest manufacturers' training and technical support.

You will have your own, high spec, fully racked van to travel to sites, and your own tablet for receiving your jobs, completing service sheets, etc.

It's a busy, sometimes pressurised job, which is the nature of our industry. But you have a supportive team and many highly skilled, experienced colleagues to call on and to learn from.

• Working hours are 40 hours per week, plus overtime
• Engineers take turns to be on standby for out-of-hours calls and are paid a standby allowance plus overtime if called out

Safeguarding

If you are successful, you will be required to complete an advanced DBS check with a barred lists check.
