Air-Conditioning Technician (Split & VRF Systems)

Here is work for a technician who can find a leak fast and gas a system up properly, with the residential aircon installer in Randburg. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is Randburg-based, with most of your time spent at a residential aircon installer. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• 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

• Check chiller log sheets and water treatment on building service visits

• Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate
• Refrigeration and air-conditioning trade test or an NQF 4 occupational certificate
