The opportunity
We're launching a dedicated service and maintenance division, and we're looking for the engineer who will grow with it. You'll start hands-on, carrying out PPM visits and reactive call-outs across our client sites. As the division grows, you'll step up to lead it: running a team of service engineers, planning the diary and becoming the face of our maintenance work.
This is a chance to build something from the ground up, not just fill a vacancy.

- Carry out planned preventative maintenance on commercial AC systems, including cleaning, filter changes and F-Gas leak checks
- Diagnose and repair faults on VRF, VRV and split systems
- Respond to service call-outs and keep clients informed
- Complete clear service reports and F-Gas records after every visit
- Support commissioning and validation work when needed
- In time, lead and schedule a team of service engineers
What we're looking for
- F-Gas Category 1 certification
- A full UK driving licence
- Solid experience servicing and fault-finding on commercial systems (Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Samsung experience a plus)
- Confidence dealing directly with clients and facilities managers
- Organised, reliable and proud of the quality of your work
- The ambition to step into a leadership role
What you'll get
- Company van
- Pension and the usual benefits
- A clear route to Service Lead as the division grows
- Variety, with different sites and challenges rather than one job for months
- A growing company where your input shapes how things are done
