With offices across the UK and a strong reputation for technical excellence, this company offers engineers the chance to work on specialist systems that many refrigeration businesses simply don’t have access to.

Depending on where you live, working from home, you’ll cover areas including Peterborough, Northampton, Leicester, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Nottingham, Derby and the wider West Midlands, carrying out planned maintenance, reactive breakdowns and fault finding across a variety of commercial and light industrial refrigeration applications. Ammonia training can be provided if you want to work on heavy industrial equipment.

You’ll be working on equipment including:

  • Chillers and coolers
  • Air Handling Units (AHUs)
  • Pumps and valves
  • HFC and hydrocarbon-based systems

The role also offers exposure to specialist facilities and industrial temperature control systems, providing a level of technical variety rarely found elsewhere.

What’s In It For You as a Refrigeration Engineer?

  • £48,000 – £50,000 Basic Salary = Realistic OTE of £60,000 – £70,000+

This company actively invests in its engineers and will provide training on ammonia refrigeration equipment, allowing you to further develop your technical capabilities and future-proof your career.

What We’re Looking For in a Refrigeration Engineer

  • Minimum 3 years’ experience within commercial or industrial refrigeration
  • Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills
  • Experience carrying out PPMs and reactive maintenance
  • Knowledge of refrigeration controls and electrical systems
  • Full UK Driving License

Experience working on chillers, refrigeration packs, controls and industrial refrigeration equipment would be highly advantageous.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone with a positive attitude, strong work ethic and a willingness to continue learning and developing.

Why Join This Fantastic Organisation?

This isn’t a role where you’ll be restricted to the same repetitive equipment every day.

You’ll gain exposure to specialist refrigeration applications, work alongside experienced engineers and receive ongoing technical support from a business that genuinely values its engineering team.
