Industrial Refrigeration Engineer – Ammonia & CO₂
£45,000–£70,000 Base Salary + Overtime | Weekly Standby | Door-to-Door Pay | Company Van | Ammonia & CO₂
Are you an experienced Industrial Refrigeration Engineer looking for a role where your skills are properly rewarded, and where you can build on your Ammonia and CO₂ experience?
This is an opportunity to join a growing engineering team working on industrial refrigeration systems across food factories, warehouses and distribution centres, not supermarket work.
You'll be home-based, travelling directly to customer sites, with most of your work kept within your local area.
On top of your base salary of £45,000–£70,000, there is plenty of opportunity to increase your earnings through overtime, standby and additional call-out work.
The Role
You'll be responsible for keeping a range of industrial refrigeration systems operating safely, efficiently and reliably across a varied customer base.
- Service, maintain, repair and commission industrial refrigeration systems, primarily Ammonia and CO₂
- Carry out planned preventative maintenance, inspections, diagnostics and reactive breakdown work
- Complete fault finding and troubleshooting to minimise downtime for customers
- Carry out compressor overhauls and other specialist refrigeration work
- Carry out refrigerant-related work safely and in accordance with relevant legislation and company procedures
- Complete service reports, maintenance records and customer documentation
- Communicate professionally with customers, explaining faults, work completed and recommendations
- Work independently across multiple industrial sites while maintaining high standards of health and safety
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
You'll work across food production facilities, cold stores, warehouses, distribution centres and other industrial environments, giving you exposure to a wide variety of systems and challenges.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an experienced engineer who is confident working independently and enjoys the technical challenge that comes with industrial refrigeration.
- Around 3–5 years' industrial refrigeration experience
- Strong experience with Ammonia and/or CO₂ refrigeration systems
- Good understanding of industrial refrigeration principles, controls and safety
- Strong fault-finding and diagnostic ability
- Valid F-Gas certification
- Ammonia handling training/certification, or relevant practical experience, relevant qualification in Refrigeration, Air Conditioning or Mechanical Engineering
- Professional approach to customer service, communication and health & safety
- Full UK driving license
Don't have experience with both Ammonia and CO₂? That's not necessarily a deal-breaker. If you have a solid commercial refrigeration background and are keen to develop your knowledge, there is training available to help you build your expertise.
What's In It for You?
This is a package designed to properly reward experienced industrial refrigeration engineers.
