Job Description

You'll install, service and repair refrigeration and aircon systems across Gqeberha. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

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

What your day looks like

  • Pressure test with nitrogen, pull a deep vacuum and charge with R410A, R32 or R134a
  • Respond to temperature alarms from cold rooms before stock is lost
  • Recover refrigerant into cylinders and log every kilogram used
  • Commission new systems and show the client how to use the controls
  • Install split units, cassettes and ducted systems, including brazing and vacuum work

What you need

  • Understanding of single- and three-phase control circuits
  • Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat
  • Refrigeration and air-conditioning trade test or an NQF 4 occupational certificate
  • Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience with VRF systems or chillers
  • Building management system alarm handling

On offer

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