Join a Company Building Something Bigger

FOAC is growing — and we’re building a team of engineers who want to be part of that journey.

We’ve built our reputation across Hampshire through high standards, clean installations, and engineers who take real pride in their work. Every system we install reflects the standards we expect from ourselves as a company.

But this is only the beginning.

FOAC is on a mission to build something exceptional. With ambitions that go far beyond local work, our vision is to grow a company recognised for quality, strong team culture, and exceptional installations — with future expansion into new regions and international markets.

To achieve that, we need great engineers.

Engineers who care about the work they produce. Engineers who want to be part of a strong team. Engineers who want to help build something that will thrive for years to come.

If that sounds like you, we’d like to hear from you.

The Role

You’ll be working across a wide range of installations, from residential split and multi-split systems through to larger commercial installations including VRF systems.

You’ll be joining a tight-knit team that works hard, supports each other, and takes genuine pride in delivering systems properly.

As the team grows, experienced engineers will also help guide and support our junior engineers, helping develop the next generation of installers within the company.

A Different Working Culture

We run the team with trust and responsibility.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Our focus is always on the quality of the outcome, not simply clock-watching.

Some days require pushing hard to get a system completed and handed over properly. That’s part of working in a professional engineering environment. But we also believe strongly in swings and roundabouts — when the team puts the effort in, that commitment is recognised through flexibility, respect for your time, and a supportive team culture.

We want engineers who take pride in doing the job properly and who value working within a professional, motivated team.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Installing residential split & multi-split air conditioning systems
  • Installing and commissioning larger commercial systems including VRF where required
  • Servicing, maintaining & fault-finding on a range of air conditioning equipment
  • Working independently or as part of a small team on installation projects
  • Leading installations and supporting junior engineers on site
  • Maintaining high standards of organisation, safety & site professionalism
  • Communicating clearly with customers and the office team when required

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience installing air conditioning systems in domestic and commercial environments
  • Ability to confidently deliver installations from start to finish
  • Experience with multi-split systems and larger commercial installations preferred
  • F-Gas certification (required)
  • Full UK driving licence
  • Strong work ethic, reliability & professionalism
  • Comfortable leading jobs and mentoring junior team members
