Job Description
Mobile Air Conditioning / HVAC Engineer
Location: London & Home Counties
Basic Salary: £45,000–£55,000, depending on experience
Employment: Full-time, Permanent
Hours: 40 hours per week, flexible between 6:00am and 6:00pm
Travel: Paid door to door
Call-Out: Approximately 1 week in every 5
The Opportunity
An established building services and facilities maintenance organisation is looking for an experienced Mobile Air Conditioning / HVAC Engineer to join its growing HVAC division.
The role offers a competitive basic salary, paid door-to-door travel, enhanced overtime rates and genuine opportunities for technical development and career progression.
You will work across a varied portfolio of commercial and public-sector properties, carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive breakdowns, fault finding, repairs, remedial works, equipment replacements and small installations.
The portfolio ranges from smaller commercial AC systems to larger, complex HVAC installations across hospitality, leisure, retail, entertainment, education and other commercial environments.
This is a technically varied role, not simply routine maintenance. You will be expected to diagnose faults, identify root causes, take ownership of problems and recommend effective repair or replacement solutions. You will also identify additional works, provide technical information for quotations and liaise with manufacturers and suppliers.
As the division grows, there will be opportunities to develop specialist skills and progress into senior engineering or supervisory positions.
Key Responsibilities
Experience with chillers, BMS, HVAC controls, commercial ventilation, refrigeration or electrical fault finding would be advantageous, as would manufacturer training and IPAF, PASMA, CSCS or ECS qualifications.
Salary and Benefits
Working Arrangements
This opportunity would suit an experienced commercial AC engineer who enjoys fault finding, working independently and tackling a varied range of HVAC installations.
If you have strong commercial air conditioning experience and are looking for a competitive package, paid travel and opportunities to progress, submit your CV to apply.
