Transport Refrigeration Technician (Truck Units)

The cold chain logistics company in Roodepoort needs an HVAC technician who knows both the electrical side and the refrigerant side. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is in Roodepoort (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Diagnose faulty compressors, fans, contactors and control boards
• Respond to temperature alarms from cold rooms before stock is lost
• Install split units, cassettes and ducted systems, including brazing and vacuum work
• Replace thermostatic expansion valves and electronic controllers
• Check chiller log sheets and water treatment on building service visits

• Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate
• SAQCC Gas registration as an authorised person for refrigerants
• Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat
• At least 2 years servicing commercial or residential systems
• Understanding of single- and three-phase control circuits
• Code 08 driver's licence, since the job is mostly on the road

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

• 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.
