Permanent Full time - 40 ordinary hours per week

Tired of the same old residential split-system grind? Ready for big gear and better fishing?

FRM Refrigeration & Air Conditioning is looking for skilled Service Techs to join our Darwin and Katherine teams. We aren’t just another fridge company; we are one of the Northern Territory’s regional specialists, managing heavy-duty commercial HVAC and refrigeration for national supermarkets, Defence sites, and major government infrastructure.

The Role: What’s on the Job Card?

We need "problem solvers," not just "parts changers." You’ll be out in the field with a high degree of autonomy, handling:

- Diverse Assets: Everything from supermarket rack systems and industrial chillers to complex HVAC plant in schools and hospitals.

- Technical Diagnosis: Leading the charge on fault-finding, repairs, and preventative maintenance.

- Project Involvement: Helping commission high-impact infrastructure projects across the Top End.

- Regional Variety: Katherine-based techs will enjoy a "hub" lifestyle with unique regional work, while Darwin techs handle the buzz of the Territory's largest commercial assets.

Why FRM?

- The Gear: Modern, well-maintained service vehicles,



quality uniforms, and required PPE.

- The Lifestyle: Along with the best fishing in Australia, you could trade the city commute for a 10-minute drive. In Darwin, you’ve got world-class sunsets and markets; in Katherine, you’ve got Nitmiluk Gorge and the best camping & fishing spots in Australia right in your backyard.

- The Perks: Competitive hourly rates (negotiable on experience), plenty of OT & on call opportunities, 14 public holidays in 2026, and potential Zone Tax Offsets.

What You’ll Bring

- The Ticket: Trade Qualified Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Mechanic.

- The Paperwork: Current ARCTICK Licence and NT Restricted Electrical Licence (or ability to obtain).

- The Drive: A clean manual driver’s licence, a "get it done" attitude and exemplary pride in workmanship.

- The Experience: Proven background in commercial service—you know your way around a plant room and aren't afraid of complex diagnostics. Experience with Co2 sub and trans critical systems highly regarded.

- The Rights: Australian Citizenship or Permanent Residency (highly regarded).
