Job Description
Recruiting Today is seeking a skilled and proactive Air Conditioning technician for an immediate temporary-to-permanent placement in the SE16 area. This role is critical for a major facilities management company that services a portfolio of commercial and residential properties across South East London. The client is a leader in building services, known for investing in their teams and providing clear pathways for career progression. They require a dedicated professional who can hit the ground running to maintain, service, and repair a variety of HVAC systems, ensuring optimal performance and client satisfaction. This position offers not just a job, but a genuine career opportunity within a growing sector.

As a specialist recruitment agency with deep roots in SE16 and across London, we bridge the gap between talented tradespeople and the employers who need them.

Key Responsibilities
- Perform planned preventative maintenance (PPM) on a range of commercial and domestic air conditioning systems, including split systems, VRF/VRV systems, and chilled water setups.

- Essential certifications: F-Gas Category 1 (2079) and Safe Handling of Refrigerants. A full UK driving licence is mandatory.
- Strong fault-finding skills and a solid understanding of electrical principles as they apply to HVAC systems. Experience with BMS systems is a distinct advantage.
- A professional, customer-focused attitude, reliability, and the ability to work independently as well as part of a wider team. A commitment to health and safety is paramount.
