Are you an experienced Transport Refrigeration Engineer looking for a long-term opportunity with a well-established business?

This could be a great move if you enjoy variety, like working independently and want to join a company where quality matters just as much as getting the job done.

The transport refrigeration side of the business is well established, with 70+ lorries across a mix of customer contracts. You'll work across a range of equipment and manufacturers rather than being tied to one brand.

There is also the opportunity to support the commercial refrigeration team from time to time, giving you the chance to broaden your experience if that's something that interests you.

  • Installation and system repairs
  • Refrigerant recovery, evacuation, pressure testing and charging
  • Electrical testing and fault finding
  • Emergency breakdown work
  • Completing service reports and job sheets
  • Liaising professionally with customers on site
  • Ensuring work is completed safely and to a high standard
  • Looking after your company vehicle, tools and equipment
  • Supporting the wider engineering team when required

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an experienced Transport Refrigeration Engineer with:

  • Several years’ experience working on transport refrigeration systems
  • Strong refrigeration and electrical fault-finding skills
  • Experience with transport refrigeration equipment
  • A full UK driving licence
  • A professional and customer-focused approach
  • The ability to work independently and manage your own workload
  • Good communication and organisational skills

Experience with Carrier, Thermo King, Zanotti, Hubbard, Webasto or similar would be advantageous.

Diesel-powered refrigeration experience would also be beneficial.

What’s On Offer?

  • Competitive salary depending on experience
  • Overtime opportunities
  • Company van
  • Private healthcare through
  • 20 days' holiday + bank holidays
  • Christmas shutdown
  • Saturday overtime at enhanced rates
  • On-call payment
  • Good-quality tools and equipment
  • Tablet/iPad and modern job management systems
  • Strong technical support from experienced engineers
  • No London work
  • Varied customer base and equipment
  • Opportunity to gain additional commercial refrigeration experience
  • Supportive team environment
  • Social events and charity involvement
  • Long-term progression opportunities

A Company That Values Its Engineers

This is a quality-focused business with a strong reputation for looking after its customers and doing the job properly.

You’ll be joining an experienced engineering team where people support each other, share technical knowledge and aren’t simply left to figure things out on their own.

The aim is to build a team of engineers who want to stay for the long term, develop their skills and progress with the business.

If you’re an experienced Transport Refrigeration Engineer looking for good work, variety, decent earning potential and a company that genuinely values quality, we’d love to hear from you.
