The cold chain logistics company in Gqeberha needs an HVAC technician who knows both the electrical side and the refrigerant side. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The work is in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

  • Respond to temperature alarms from cold rooms before stock is lost
  • Pressure test with nitrogen, pull a deep vacuum and charge with R410A, R32 or R134a

  • Service cold rooms, display fridges and freezers on planned maintenance routes

  • Understanding of single- and three-phase control circuits
  • Refrigeration and air-conditioning trade test or an NQF 4 occupational certificate
  • At least 2 years servicing commercial or residential systems
  • Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate

On offer

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

  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: a clear copy of your ID, SAQCC Gas card plus refrigeration trade or occupational certificate.

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.

  • 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.
