Chiller Technician (Hospitals & Data Centres)

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

This post is Springs-based, with most of your time spent at a cold chain logistics company. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

• 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
• Recover refrigerant into cylinders and log every kilogram used
• Diagnose faulty compressors, fans, contactors and control boards
• Install split units, cassettes and ducted systems, including brazing and vacuum work
• Check chiller log sheets and water treatment on building service visits
• Replace thermostatic expansion valves and electronic controllers

• Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate
• SAQCC Gas registration as an authorised person for refrigerants
• Refrigeration and air-conditioning trade test or an NQF 4 occupational certificate
• Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat
• Code 08 driver's licence, since the job is mostly on the road

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

• Your SAQCC Gas card must be current. Put the expiry date on your CV so nobody has to ask.
• Say which refrigerants and system types you have worked on. A recruiter for supermarket work wants to see CO2 or large rack systems.
