• You will maintain strict FGAS compliance records and update internal reporting systems accurately.

• As an active Air-Conditioning Engineer, you will perform general building maintenance, including basic electrical, plumbing, carpentry, painting, and minor fabrication.

• You will utilize mobile technology like tablets and internal systems to efficiently manage, update, and close work orders.

• Furthermore, an Air-Conditioning Engineer will partner smoothly with planners, colleagues, and store managers, complete administrative tasks, support operational objectives, and take a turn on an on-call rota.

Candidate Requirements and Qualifications

• To qualify for this Air-Conditioning Engineer position, you must hold an NVQ Level 2 in Air Conditioning & Refrigeration as a minimum requirement.

• You should possess proven multi-trade capability covering general building upkeep beyond core HVAC work.

• Candidates must have strong fault-finding and repair skills, paired with a proactive and customer-focused approach.

• Clear verbal and written interpersonal skills are essential for effective interaction with customers and colleagues.

• You will need a flexible mindset driven by a commitment to continuous learning and a full UK driving license.
