Are you an experienced Commercial Air Conditioning & HVAC Engineer looking for a role where your skills are properly rewarded?
How about £40,000–£60,000, paid door-to-door travel at time and a half, a company van with personal use, great weekly standby payment and the opportunity to significantly increase your earnings through overtime?
This is a genuinely varied role where you won't be stuck working on the same equipment or in the same environment every day. You'll visit a diverse range of commercial and industrial sites, working with customers across London and the surrounding areas.
There is also a genuine opportunity to develop your career into industrial refrigeration, with access to additional training from recognised industry manufacturers if that’s the path you wish to take.

You'll be responsible for servicing, maintaining, repairing and commissioning commercial air conditioning, HVAC and refrigeration systems across multiple customer sites.
The environments are varied and can include pharmaceutical facilities, offices, council sites, nurseries, care homes, cafés, theatres, factories and other commercial premises.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Servicing, maintaining, repairing and commissioning commercial Air Con, HVAC and refrigeration systems
- Diagnosing faults and carrying out effective troubleshooting and system diagnostics
- Completing planned preventative maintenance and routine inspections
- Responding to breakdowns and service calls
- Carrying out refrigerant recovery, evacuation, leak detection and charging in accordance with F-Gas regulations
- Completing service reports and communicating findings clearly to customers and management
- Identifying opportunities to improve system performance, reliability and energy efficiency
- Maintaining high standards of health and safety and compliance
- Supporting junior engineers or apprentices when required
