This is a field-based air conditioning service engineer role covering commercial sites across the M62 for a well-established HVAC business that’s growing its Northern team. The package is properly structured – base salary of £45,000-£50,000, paid travel time, a 1-in-9 callout rota with standby and first-fix bonuses, and quarterly performance bonuses on top. Add it up and realistic total earnings sit between £60,000 and £70,000.
What you’ll be doing
Planned maintenance and reactive fault-finding on commercial sites, with VRV/VRF and split systems at the core. You’ll work independently day to day with proper service desk support behind you. Digital reporting and F-Gas compliance are part of the routine.
