Alkar Refrigeration Services is a family-owned commercial refrigeration company established in 1970. From our Acacia Ridge base, we service supermarkets, industrial facilities, food-processing sites and specialist refrigeration systems throughout Queensland and Northern New South Wales.

You’ll work under highly experienced refrigeration managers, each with more than 40 years in the industry. You’ll also have access to genuine 24-hour technical and management support when difficult problems arise.

Supermarket multi-compressor rack systems

CO₂ and newer low-GWP refrigerant systems

Large cold-storage and freezer facilities

Individual condensing units and self-contained equipment

Fast-cooling facilities

Fruit-ripening and fumigation rooms

Custom-designed display and storage systems

Dry-age meat and cold-plate display cases

Electronic refrigeration controllers and monitoring systems

Older systems requiring genuine diagnostic and fault-finding ability

You’ll have the opportunity to learn how complete systems operate, program controllers, diagnose both older and modern equipment, and develop into a highly capable commercial refrigeration technician.

The role Your work may include:

Fault-finding and repairing commercial refrigeration systems

Servicing supermarket cases, cool rooms, freezer rooms and rack systems

Diagnosing electrical, mechanical and control faults

Compressor replacements and major component repairs

Refrigeration and air-conditioning installations

Warranty and breakdown service calls

The normal service workload is Monday to Friday, with participation in a shared after-hours roster. Technicians who want additional variety can also undertake regional supermarket projects and living‑away-from‑home work.

The on‑call roster is organised up to six months in advance,



helping you plan around family and personal commitments.

What we’re looking for You will ideally have:

Certificate III in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

Current refrigerant handling licence

Relevant restricted electrical licence

Current Australian driver’s licence

Commercial refrigeration service experience

Strong fault‑finding and diagnostic ability

Good workmanship and attention to detail

Clear customer communication

The ability to work independently while knowing when to seek support

Rates starting from $48 per hour plus super , depending on demonstrated experience

Company 4WD service vehicle or Van, both with Fuel Card

Phone and access to Simpro

$350 on-call allowance

Exposure to refrigeration systems that many technicians never get the opportunity to work on

Ongoing development across traditional, modern and emerging refrigeration technology

A stable, established family‑owned company with more than 50 years in the industry

Opportunities for both local service work and regional project work

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in understanding how refrigeration systems actually work and wants to keep developing their trade—not simply replace parts until the fault disappears.

If you want proper commercial refrigeration experience, experienced people around you and the chance to become one of the best technicians in the trade, we’d like to hear from you.
