If you know your way around large water and air-cooled chillers and you’re at your best diagnosing faults in critical environments, this is the kind of role worth looking at.
This position puts you at the heart of mission-critical cooling – data centres, banking and 24/7 environments where uptime is everything. You will be first line on breakdowns, planned maintenance and reactive work across chillers from 200kW up to 1.2MW. The business is well established, safety-focused and the majority of their work is data centre service and retrofit. Not a generalist contractor.
What’s on offer
- £58,000 – £63,000 basic depending on experience
- High-spec van for personal use plus fuel card
- Call-out allowance and paid overtime beyond 50 hours
- 25 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays, with an extra day at five years
- Private medical cover from day one
- Annual OEM and Turbocor training
- Option to move into commissioning or projects over time
What you’ll be doing
You will be carrying out planned and reactive maintenance on water and air-cooled chillers, diagnosing and repairing compressors – screw, scroll and Turbocor – and supervising crane and Hiab lifts for coil and compressor swaps. You will complete electronic service reports, RAMS and permit-to-work documentation, liaise with client FM teams in live environments, and support and mentor junior engineers when needed.
What you’ll need
- F-Gas Category 1 and C&G or NVQ in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning or equivalent
- Proven fault-finding experience on Carrier, Trane, York, Airedale or Mitsubishi chillers
- Experience supervising heavy-lift operations – LOLER and IPAF advantageous
- Confident with electronic service reporting and RAMS paperwork
- Full UK driving licence, customer-focused and safety-driven
Who you’ll be working for
You will be joining a specialist mission-critical cooling business with a strong reputation built over twenty years. They hold seven consecutive RoSPA Gold awards and carry the full ISO accreditation stack. It is a close-knit team where technical ability is recognised and the culture reflects that – disciplined on safety, serious about quality, and genuinely invested in the engineers who work there.
