Air Conditioning Engineer

Job description

Senior Air Conditioning Engineer - Technical Lead

£48K-£60K

Company based in Rugby

We’re looking for an experienced domestic and light commercial air conditioning engineer to cover homes across Warwickshire and the West Midlands. You’ll do the work yourself, and you’ll lead our air conditioning work technically.

About us

We’re family-run, with around 80 people across four trades, more than 30,000 customers and 4,800 Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.8. Last year we won the HPM Award and the West Midlands Energy Efficiency Award.

What the role involves

Most of your week is hands-on: installing, servicing and repairing air conditioning in customers’ homes. Alongside that, you’ll be our go-to person for air conditioning:

• Training our heating engineers in air conditioning, so more of the team can install and maintain it
• Supporting our surveyors: reviewing AC surveys and advising on system design and equipment
• Leading on our larger ducted and VRF jobs, and supporting other engineers on site
• Helping shape how air conditioning grows across the business

Your day-to-day work

• Installing, commissioning and handing over split, multi-split and ducted systems in homes
• Planned maintenance and servicing to manufacturer standards
• Fault-finding and repairs, including compressors and parts on the refrigerant circuit and explaining to customers what was wrong and what you did
• Some commercial and VRF/VRV work
• Keeping job records, commissioning sheets and F-Gas paperwork up to date
• Working safely, including our working-at-height procedures

What we’re looking for

F-Gas Category 1

At least 5 years as an air conditioning engineer

Proven domestic installation experience, working in customers’ homes

Experience of training, mentoring or supervising other engineers

Strong electrical fault-finding and a good understanding of controls

Experience with Daikin, Mitsubishi, Haier, Toshiba, Fujitsu or similar

A full UK driving licence

Useful but not essential: ducted and VRF experience, system design or surveying, manufacturer VRF training, NVQ Level 3 in refrigeration and air conditioning.

Hours and travel

The van comes home with you, and you go straight to your first job. You’ll come into Rugby for parts, van checks, team meetings and training. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8 till 5. If you need different hours, mention it at interview and we’ll talk it through under our flexible working arrangements.

Pay and benefits

• £48,000 – £60,000 basic, depending on experience, plus overtime
• Private healthcare that covers pre-existing conditions, and your partner and children too
• EV salary sacrifice car scheme through Octopus, servicing and maintenance included
