Chiller engineer who’d like a couple of fortnights in Europe each year?
How often you go is up to you. Two trips a year is the minimum, two weeks each. Do three if you want more of it.
Germany’s first, on chillers in telecoms server buildings. Flights and accommodation are booked and paid for. You land and meet the engineer who’s been out there. He hands over the Airbnb and his van, fully kitted with the tools in the back, and flies home. Two weeks later you do the same in reverse.
It’s not a rotation that takes over your life. The rest of the year you’re on UK work. If you want more time abroad, there’s also an optional rotation in France you can ask about.
You’re on £55,000, with overtime on top.
What you’ll be doing
Chiller service, maintenance and fault-finding in telecoms server buildings. These are mid-size chillers, not big industrial plant. Germany’s the first need. The work can also take you across other parts of Europe, Switzerland and France included.
You’ll be trusted to get on with it. If something doesn’t look right on a service, you’ll dig into it, find the cause and write it up. You can always ring for advice, but nobody’s checking up on you.
When you do ring, your service manager came up through industrial chillers himself, so you’re talking to someone who knows the kit.
Where you’ll be doing it
It’s a small, independent cooling business. You can pick up the phone to the people who run it, and they’ll sort what they can. PPMs are planned so they actually get done. Reviews start with a pay rise, then honest feedback.
What you’ll need
Chiller experience on Daikin, Mitsubishi or similar. You don’t need to be a Turbocor specialist. A strong VRV/VRF engineer with some chiller work behind them fits too.
You’ll need F-Gas, a full UK driving licence, and a passport that lets you travel through Europe, Switzerland included, without visas or work permits. You’ll live somewhere between Luton and the south coast, or in Kent near the M25.
One honest point: you’ll be away from home for a couple of fortnights a year.
