An opportunity to lead and grow a new in-house HVAC division

We are a growing building services company looking for an experienced Air Conditioning / HVAC Engineer to join us on a full-time, permanent basis.

This is not just another engineer role. We are looking for someone who wants to come in, take ownership, and help us build and grow our own internal air conditioning and HVAC division.

The right person will have strong experience across both commercial HVAC systems and domestic air conditioning, with the ability to work on larger commercial plant such as AHUs, VRV/VRF systems, split systems, ducted systems, cassette units, ventilation systems and general AC/HVAC equipment.

As our workload continues to grow, we want to bring this work in-house and build a reliable, professional team around the right person. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants stability, responsibility, long-term progression and the chance to play a key role in the future growth of the business.

The Role

You will be responsible for carrying out service, maintenance, fault finding, repairs and installation work across a mixture of commercial and domestic sites.

A full UK driving licence
A professional, customer-focused approach
The ability to manage jobs from start to finish
A positive attitude and pride in doing the job properly

Previous experience supervising engineers, apprentices or subcontractors would be a bonus, but it is not essential. What matters most is that you have the right technical ability, attitude and desire to help grow something properly.
