Job Description

Keep cold rooms cold and offices cool for the supermarket refrigeration contractor in Worcester. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll report in Worcester. Relocation is not covered for this one.

The work, day to day

  • Respond to temperature alarms from cold rooms before stock is lost
  • Service cold rooms, display fridges and freezers on planned maintenance routes
  • Replace thermostatic expansion valves and electronic controllers
  • Pressure test with nitrogen, pull a deep vacuum and charge with R410A, R32 or R134a
  • Diagnose faulty compressors, fans, contactors and control boards
  • Commission new systems and show the client how to use the controls

You'll need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Building management system alarm handling
  • CO2 transcritical refrigeration experience in retail stores
  • Transport refrigeration units on trucks and trailers

What's in it for you

  • Gauge manifold, vacuum pump and recovery unit issued to you
  • Company vehicle with a fitted tool rack
  • Manufacturer training on new equipment ranges

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, refrigeration trade or occupational certificate plus SAQCC Gas card.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Worcester.

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.

How to stand out

  • 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.
