Air Conditioning Engineer
We’re hiring for a VRV/VRF Air Conditioning Service Engineer to join a well-established HVAC maintenance team covering commercial sites across London, the Home Counties and the South East.
The biggest selling point? There is no call-out rota. The role is built around work-life balance, sensible scheduling, and an 8-hour day approach wherever possible. Most engineers are aiming to be packed up and heading home mid-afternoon to avoid the worst of the rush-hour traffic.
You’ll be working on a planned mobile schedule, with jobs arranged around your location where possible, equipment delivered directly to site, and no depot collections eating into your day.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be carrying out planned maintenance, servicing, fault diagnosis and repairs across commercial VRV/VRF and split systems.
This is mainly a service and maintenance role across commercial portfolios, with tablet-based reporting for job sheets and service records. You’ll be trusted to work independently, manage your own diagnostics, and keep standards high when dealing with clients on site.
For engineers who want to develop further, there is also the option to gain exposure to critical cooling and chiller work through training and on-the-job support. Equally, if you prefer to stay focused on VRV/VRF, that can be accommodated too.
What You’ll Need
F-Gas Category 1 / 2079
CSCS card
Full UK driving licence
Strong commercial VRV/VRF service and fault-finding experience
Experience working on split systems
Able to work independently without supervision
Based within a realistic commute of London, the Home Counties or the South East
Desirable Experience
NVQ Level 3 in Refrigeration & Air Conditioning, or equivalent
Daikin Service Checker experience
Experience working across FM or commercial portfolios
Interest in developing into critical cooling or chiller work
What’s On Offer
No call-out rota
£45,000 - £52,000 basic salary, depending on experience
Paid 8-hour day approach
Sensible scheduling with a focus on avoiding unnecessary late finishes
25 days annual leave + 8 bank holidays
Company van with personal use
Tablet, phone, tools and uniform provided
Optional training and development support
What’s Next
If you’re an experienced VRV/VRF engineer who wants a mobile role without the pressure of call-out, this is a great opportunity to join a stable team that actually values work-life balance.
