Carry out general building maintenance tasks as required across retail sites
Accurately complete job reports, compliance documentation, and service records
Liaise professionally with clients and internal support teams
Participate in the regional on-call rota when required

Key Skills:

Proven experience working on commercial air conditioning systems
Strong diagnostic and fault-finding ability
Experience within a mobile service and repair role
Ability to carry out basic general maintenance tasks
Good understanding of health & safety and compliance requirements

Must have:

NVQ Level 2 (or equivalent) in Refrigeration & Air Conditioning
Full UK driving licence

Desirable Skills:

Experience within retail or facilities management environments
Manufacturer training or experience with Airedale/DX systems
Multi-skilled background (gas, electrical or general building maintenance exposure beneficial)

What you get in return:

£44,000

Company vehicle provided (fitted with safety cameras - no live monitoring or audio)

Structured regional on-call rota (one engineer per region)

On-call retainer and enhanced rates
