Job Description

You'll install, service and repair refrigeration and aircon systems across Epping. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Epping; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

The work, day to day

  • Diagnose faulty compressors, fans, contactors and control boards
  • Install split units, cassettes and ducted systems, including brazing and vacuum work
  • Service cold rooms, display fridges and freezers on planned maintenance routes
  • Recover refrigerant into cylinders and log every kilogram used
  • Check chiller log sheets and water treatment on building service visits
  • 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

Must-haves

  • At least 2 years servicing commercial or residential systems
  • Code 08 driver's licence, since the job is mostly on the road
  • Refrigeration and air-conditioning trade test or an NQF 4 occupational certificate
  • Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat
  • Understanding of single- and three-phase control circuits
  • SAQCC Gas registration as an authorised person for refrigerants

Nice if you have

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

What you get

  • Manufacturer training on new equipment ranges
  • Standby pay for weekend fridge breakdowns
  • Gauge manifold, vacuum pump and recovery unit issued to you

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a clear copy of your ID, refrigeration trade or occupational certificate plus SAQCC Gas card.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Epping; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • 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.
