Looking for an Air Conditioning role where there’s no call\-out rota, no late\-night breakdowns, and you can actually enjoy a proper work\-life balance? Then this could be exactly what you’re looking for.

We’re hiring for a VRV/VRF Air Conditioning Service Engineer to join a well\-established HVAC maintenance team covering commercial sites across London, the Home Counties and the South East.

The biggest selling point? There is no call\-out rota. The role is built around work\-life balance, sensible scheduling, and an 8\-hour day approach wherever possible. Most engineers are aiming to be packed up and heading home mid\-afternoon to avoid the worst of the rush\-hour traffic.

You’ll be working on a planned mobile schedule, with jobs arranged around your location where possible, equipment delivered directly to site, and no depot collections eating into your day.

What You’ll Be Doing
------------------------

You’ll be carrying out planned maintenance, servicing, fault diagnosis and repairs across commercial VRV/VRF and split systems.

This is mainly a service and maintenance role across commercial portfolios, with tablet\-based reporting for job sheets and service records. You’ll be trusted to work independently, manage your own diagnostics, and keep standards high when dealing with clients on site.

For engineers who want to develop further, there is also the option to gain exposure to critical cooling and chiller work through training and on\-the\-job support. Equally, if you prefer to stay focused on VRV/VRF, that can be accommodated too.

What You’ll Need
--------------------

  • F\-Gas Category 1 / 2079

  • CSCS card

  • Full UK driving licence

  • Strong commercial VRV/VRF service and fault\-finding experience

  • Experience working on split systems

  • Able to work independently without supervision

  • Based within a realistic commute of London, the Home Counties or the South East
Desirable Experience
------------------------
  • NVQ Level 3 in Refrigeration \& Air Conditioning, or equivalent

  • Daikin Service Checker experience

  • Experience working across FM or commercial portfolios

  • Interest in developing into critical cooling or chiller work
What’s On Offer
-------------------
  • No call\-out rota

  • £45,000 \- £52,000 basic salary, depending on experience

  • Paid 8\-hour day approach

  • Sensible scheduling with a focus on avoiding unnecessary late finishes

  • 25 days annual leave \+ 8 bank holidays

  • Company van with personal use

  • Tablet, phone, tools and uniform provided

  • Optional training and development support
What’s Next
---------------

If you’re an experienced VRV/VRF engineer who wants a mobile role without the pressure of call\-out, this is a great opportunity to join a stable team that actually values work\-life balance.

Send over your CV \- even if it is not perfect \- and we’ll take it from there.
