Hours: 8am–5pm, Monday to Friday - 40 hours per week
Overtime: Plenty available, particularly during the summer months
Are you a Commercial Refrigeration Engineer who takes pride in doing a job properly?
If you’re looking for a company where quality matters, engineers are treated well and you’re not just thrown jobs at all day, this could be worth a look.
This is a well-established, growing refrigeration business with a strong customer base and a genuinely varied workload. From small village shops and independent butchers through to large-scale cold stores, no two days are quite the same.
There’s no London work and no supermarket contracts, the team focuses purely on looking after its existing customers.
The Role
You’ll be working across Sussex, Kent and Surrey, carrying out:
- Servicing and maintenance of commercial refrigeration systems
- Fault finding and breakdown work
- Installation and system alterations
- Working on a wide variety of commercial refrigeration equipment
- Supporting customers on site and providing a professional service
- Diagnosing faults properly and getting systems running correctly
- Working closely with the wider engineering team when technical support is needed
The workload is well managed. Engineers aren't overloaded with jobs or expected to race from one call to another, you'll generally be given one job at a time, with the focus firmly on doing the work properly and keeping customers happy.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an experienced Commercial Refrigeration Engineer who:
- Has strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills
- Takes pride in the quality of their work
- Is professional and customer-focused
- Can work independently but is happy to support the wider team
- Wants to join a business for the long term
- CO₂ experience would be a great bonus, but it isn't essential.
What's On Offer?
Up to £50,000 basic salary, depending on experience, with the opportunity to earn around £20,000+ in overtime when the work is available, particularly through the busier summer period.
You'll also receive:
- Company van
- 20 days' holiday + bank holidays
- Christmas shutdown
- Saturday work paid at enhanced rates
- On-call payments
- Good-quality tools and equipment
- Tablet/iPad and modern job management system
- Strong technical support from experienced engineers
- No London work
- No supermarket work
- A varied customer base and interesting refrigeration projects
- Social events and a genuinely supportive team
- Long-term career and progression opportunities
The Important Bit
This isn't a business looking to fill vans with jobs and send engineers out until they're burnt out.
The team has a strong quality-first mentality, supports one another technically and wants to build a group of engineers who stay for the long term.
If you're an experienced Commercial Refrigeration Engineer looking for good work, good people, decent earning potential and a company that cares about the standard of service it provides, we'd like to hear from you.
