Job Description

Keep cold rooms cold and offices cool for the air-conditioning maintenance company in Brakpan. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Brakpan-based, with most of your time spent at an air-conditioning maintenance company.

What you'll actually do

  • Install split units, cassettes and ducted systems, including brazing and vacuum work
  • Clean coils, replace filters and check drain lines on scheduled services
  • Service cold rooms, display fridges and freezers on planned maintenance routes
  • Respond to temperature alarms from cold rooms before stock is lost
  • Complete service reports on a tablet and have the site manager sign them
  • Commission new systems and show the client how to use the controls

You'll need

  • Refrigeration and air-conditioning trade test or an NQF 4 occupational certificate
  • Code 08 driver's licence, since the job is mostly on the road
  • SAQCC Gas registration as an authorised person for refrigerants
  • Understanding of single- and three-phase control circuits

Nice if you have

  • Experience with VRF systems or chillers
  • Building management system alarm handling
  • CO2 transcritical refrigeration experience in retail stores

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Brakpan really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a clear copy of your ID plus refrigeration trade or occupational certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Mention whether you are comfortable on standby. Most service jobs in this trade include it.
  • Say which refrigerants and system types you have worked on. A recruiter for supermarket work wants to see CO2 or large rack systems.
