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 Midrand. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Midrand. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Complete service reports on a tablet and have the site manager sign them
  • Service cold rooms, display fridges and freezers on planned maintenance routes
  • Respond to temperature alarms from cold rooms before stock is lost
  • Diagnose faulty compressors, fans, contactors and control boards
  • Replace thermostatic expansion valves and electronic controllers

Must-haves

  • Understanding of single- and three-phase control circuits
  • Code 08 driver's licence, since the job is mostly on the road
  • At least 2 years servicing commercial or residential systems
  • Refrigeration and air-conditioning trade test or an NQF 4 occupational certificate
  • Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat
  • Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate

Nice if you have

  • Building management system alarm handling
  • CO2 transcritical refrigeration experience in retail stores

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  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: refrigeration trade or occupational certificate, a clear copy of your ID plus SAQCC Gas card.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Midrand; 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.

How to stand out

  • 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.
