Job Description

Here is work for a technician who can find a leak fast and gas a system up properly, with the supermarket refrigeration contractor in Kuruman. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Home base is a supermarket refrigeration contractor on the Kuruman side of Northern Cape.

What your day looks like

  • Pressure test with nitrogen, pull a deep vacuum and charge with R410A, R32 or R134a
  • Recover refrigerant into cylinders and log every kilogram used
  • Service cold rooms, display fridges and freezers on planned maintenance routes
  • Diagnose faulty compressors, fans, contactors and control boards
  • Respond to temperature alarms from cold rooms before stock is lost
  • Replace thermostatic expansion valves and electronic controllers
  • Clean coils, replace filters and check drain lines on scheduled services

You'll need

  • Code 08 driver's licence, since the job is mostly on the road
  • Understanding of single- and three-phase control circuits
  • Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat
  • At least 2 years servicing commercial or residential systems

Helpful, not essential

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

On offer

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