Job Description

You'll install, service and repair refrigeration and aircon systems across Coega. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll be based at a supermarket refrigeration contractor in Coega. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What your day looks like

  • Respond to temperature alarms from cold rooms before stock is lost
  • Check chiller log sheets and water treatment on building service visits
  • Commission new systems and show the client how to use the controls
  • Diagnose faulty compressors, fans, contactors and control boards
  • Complete service reports on a tablet and have the site manager sign them
  • Service cold rooms, display fridges and freezers on planned maintenance routes

You'll need

  • Code 08 driver's licence, since the job is mostly on the road
  • Understanding of single- and three-phase control circuits
  • At least 2 years servicing commercial or residential systems
  • Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate
  • SAQCC Gas registration as an authorised person for refrigerants
  • Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat

Nice if you have

  • Building management system alarm handling
  • CO2 transcritical refrigeration experience in retail stores

On offer

  • Standby pay for weekend fridge breakdowns
  • Manufacturer training on new equipment ranges
  • Company vehicle with a fitted tool rack

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a clear copy of your ID plus SAQCC Gas card.
  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 7 working days.
