n
The role
n
Your work may include:
n

n
Ongoing development across traditional, modern and emerging refrigeration technology
n
A stable, established family‐owned company with more than 50 years in the industry
n
Opportunities for both local service work and regional project work
n
n
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.
n
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.
