Transport Refrigeration Technician (Truck Units)

Here is work for a technician who can find a leak fast and gas a system up properly, with the hospital building services team in Boksburg. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll report in Boksburg. Relocation is not covered for this one. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Install split units, cassettes and ducted systems, including brazing and vacuum work
• Check chiller log sheets and water treatment on building service visits
• Complete service reports on a tablet and have the site manager sign them
• Diagnose faulty compressors, fans, contactors and control boards
• Pressure test with nitrogen, pull a deep vacuum and charge with R410A, R32 or R134a
• Recover refrigerant into cylinders and log every kilogram used
• Commission new systems and show the client how to use the controls

• Code 08 driver's licence, since the job is mostly on the road
• SAQCC Gas registration as an authorised person for refrigerants
• Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate
• Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat

• Transport refrigeration units on trucks and trailers
• Experience with VRF systems or chillers

• Manufacturer training on new equipment ranges
• Company vehicle with a fitted tool rack
• Standby pay for weekend fridge breakdowns

• 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.
