You'll be the sole technical contact for key commercial contracts, delivering high-quality PPMs, reactive maintenance, and system upgrades across a variety of AC systems.

Package & Benefits
  • Salary: Up to £46,800 per annum (DOE)

  • Holidays: 20 + 8 statutory, plus +2 after 2 years, with an option to purchase 3 additional days after probation

  • Overtime: 1.5x and 2x (Sunday double time if Saturday worked)

  • Company van: Brand new Dispatch (business use only)

  • Perks: Digital GP, high street discounts, and more

  • Career progression: Genuine path to Contract Manager within 18 months

Requirements:

  • C&G 2079 / FGAS / Refrigerant Handling
  • Experience in a client facing role
  • Willingness to go the extra mile

This opportunity is ideal for a senior-level AC engineer ready to combine hands-on expertise with client-facing leadership - and grow into managing contracts and teams within a supportive, expanding business.
