Job Description

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. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll report in Springs. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Pressure test with nitrogen, pull a deep vacuum and charge with R410A, R32 or R134a
  • Clean coils, replace filters and check drain lines on scheduled services
  • Service cold rooms, display fridges and freezers on planned maintenance routes
  • Commission new systems and show the client how to use the controls
  • Complete service reports on a tablet and have the site manager sign them
  • Diagnose faulty compressors, fans, contactors and control boards
  • Check chiller log sheets and water treatment on building service visits

What you need

  • Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat
  • Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate
  • At least 2 years servicing commercial or residential systems
  • SAQCC Gas registration as an authorised person for refrigerants

Nice if you have

  • Transport refrigeration units on trucks and trailers
  • Experience with VRF systems or chillers
  • CO2 transcritical refrigeration experience in retail stores

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Springs really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): SAQCC Gas card, a clear copy of your ID plus refrigeration trade or occupational certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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

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