Ready to swap traffic, long commutes and repetitive work for a lifestyle most people only dream about?
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established and rapidly growing HVAC and Refrigeration contractor based in the beautiful Whitsundays.
With more than 25 years in business, they've built an outstanding reputation for delivering high-quality commercial and residential HVAC and refrigeration solutions across North Queensland.
Due to continued growth, they're looking for an experienced Senior HVAC/R Technician to join the team and play a key leadership role within the business.
This is a genuine opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their career and progress into a Service Manager position over time.
Why You'll Love This Opportunity
This isn't your typical service role.
No two days are the same.
You'll work across a diverse range of projects including:
Commercial HVAC systems
Commercial refrigeration
Supermarket refrigeration
Cold rooms and freezer rooms
Marine air conditioning and refrigeration
Ice machines
Glycol systems
Post mix and beer systems
High-end residential installations
Fault finding, service, maintenance and installations
If you're someone who enjoys technical variety and solving challenging problems, this role offers an incredible breadth of work rarely found elsewhere.
The Prospect
Initially, you'll be joining as a senior member of the technical team, acting as the go-to person for technicians and apprentices while remaining hands-on where required.
As you establish yourself, you'll gradually step into more leadership responsibilities, mentoring the team, supporting daily operations and helping drive the continued growth of the business.




This is an ideal prospect for an experienced technician who's ready to transition into management while still enjoying being on the tools.
About You
We're looking for someone who is technically strong, approachable and enjoys helping others succeed.
You'll ideally have:
Certificate III in Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
Current ARCtick Refrigerant Handling Licence
Extensive experience in commercial HVAC and refrigeration
Solid fault-finding and diagnostic skills
Experience across commercial service and maintenance
Experience with cold rooms, supermarket refrigeration or commercial refrigeration systems
Excellent communication and customer service skills
A proactive attitude and strong work ethic
The ability to mentor apprentices and support other technicians
Current Australian Driver's Licence
Experience with marine refrigeration, post mix systems, beer systems or glycol systems is highly regarded but not essential.
Leadership or supervisory experience is also highly desirable, although experienced senior technicians looking to step into leadership are strongly encouraged to apply.
What's On Offer
Competitive salary package based on experience
Fully maintained company vehicle
Fuel card
Phone and work equipment provided
Paid on-call allowance and overtime
Genuine career progression into a Service Manager role
Ongoing technical development across a broad range of equipment
