Job Description

The air-conditioning maintenance company in Boksburg needs an HVAC technician who knows both the electrical side and the refrigerant side. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll be based at an air-conditioning maintenance company in Boksburg. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Replace thermostatic expansion valves and electronic controllers
  • Check chiller log sheets and water treatment on building service visits
  • Install split units, cassettes and ducted systems, including brazing and vacuum work
  • Complete service reports on a tablet and have the site manager sign them
  • Clean coils, replace filters and check drain lines on scheduled services
  • Commission new systems and show the client how to use the controls
  • Service cold rooms, display fridges and freezers on planned maintenance routes

What you need

  • Refrigeration and air-conditioning trade test or an NQF 4 occupational certificate
  • Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat
  • Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate
  • Understanding of single- and three-phase control circuits
  • Code 08 driver's licence, since the job is mostly on the road

Nice if you have

  • Experience with VRF systems or chillers
  • Transport refrigeration units on trucks and trailers
  • Building management system alarm handling

What you get

  • Standby pay for weekend fridge breakdowns
  • Company vehicle with a fitted tool rack
  • Gauge manifold, vacuum pump and recovery unit issued to you
  • Manufacturer training on new equipment ranges

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): SAQCC Gas card, refrigeration trade or occupational certificate plus a clear copy of your ID.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.
