Are you tired of completing the same repetitive installations every day?
Do you prefer fault-finding, servicing and repairing equipment rather than constantly rushing from one basic install to the next?
Are you looking for stable hours, a reliable workload and the opportunity to broaden your skills?
Would you like the opportunity to complete an electrical apprenticeship and become dual-trade qualified?
Direct Connect Electrical & Air is seeking an experienced HVAC&R; Technician to join our growing Perth-based team.
About the Role
This role is heavily focused on service, maintenance, diagnostics and repairs across domestic, commercial, government and industrial sites.
Our HVAC division works alongside our electrical team, giving our technicians exposure to a broader range of systems, controls and technical work than a standard air-conditioning role.
The position offers a strong mix of planned maintenance, breakdowns, repairs, upgrades and replacement works, with stable hours and a reliable pipeline of work throughout the year.
No two days are the same.
One day you may be diagnosing a VRV fault at a commercial property.
The next could involve servicing equipment at a government facility, repairing a cool room, replacing a failed compressor or investigating a control issue.
This is an ideal role for a technician who enjoys problem-solving and takes pride in repairing systems properly.

Cool rooms and freezer rooms

Electrical controls and associated fault-finding
The role is service-heavy, with a strong focus on diagnostics, maintenance and repair rather than repetitive installation work.
Dual‐Trade Opportunity
For the right person, we can provide the opportunity to complete an electrical apprenticeship while continuing to work within the HVAC division.
This creates a pathway to become dual-trade qualified in both refrigeration and electrical.
This opportunity would suit an experienced technician who wants to build a long-term career and become highly capable across HVAC, refrigeration, electrical controls and associated systems.
Stable Hours and Additional Income
We understand that many technicians want consistent hours and a better work-life balance.
This role provides stable, full-time hours with a reliable workload throughout the year.

Our Management Style
Our management team is young, practical and supportive.
We focus on clear communication, accountability and working together rather than managing through fear or unnecessary pressure.
We understand that mistakes can happen,



particularly when completing complex diagnostic and repair work.
We expect honesty, communication and a willingness to resolve the issue properly.
Hard work is noticed, good performance is recognised and employees are supported to develop their skills.
If you enjoy autonomy, responsibility and working within a team that respects your experience, you will fit in well.
