An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Refrigeration Engineer to join a well-established and supportive business operating across the Leicester Area

In this role, you’ll take ownership of your own client base, manage your own diary, and build strong working relationships with a variety of customers. You will receive appointments via a company-issued laptop, giving you the freedom to plan your day efficiently. Although you’ll work independently, you’ll always have support available when needed.

This is a varied and rewarding role, involving maintenance and repair across a broad range of equipment, from integral freezers to remote refrigeration packs and everything in between. The business actively promotes internal development, offering clear pathways for progression and long-term career growth.

This role is based on a 45-hour working week, with overtime paid for any hours worked over 45. You will also be required to join an on-call standby rota approximately 1 in every 6 weeks. In addition, you will have the flexibility to opt in or out of personal use of the company van.

Our client is committed to making your work-life as smooth and straightforward as possible. Your van will be fully equipped, you’ll be paid door-to-door, and you’ll be recognised and rewarded for the work you complete, because this isn’t just a job, it’s a career.

What we’re looking for:

  • Proven experience as an Engineer within commercial refrigeration

  • A Level 2 gas engineering qualification

  • A full UK driving licence

  • Strong customer service and communication skills

Key Responsibilities
  • Carry out refrigeration engineering activities to agreed standards, working with minimal supervision.

  • Maintain cold rooms and integral cases; seek support as needed for more complex fault-finding on remote systems.

  • Monitor outstanding service calls in your area and act promptly to reduce delays.

  • Regularly review and maintain van stock levels.

  • Uphold and promote the company’s core values and professional standards.

  • Follow all processes, procedures, and working practices.

  • Undertake any reasonable requests from management or colleagues.

  • This role offers an excellent benefits package and the opportunity to grow your career within a supportive and forward-thinking organisation.
