West Scotland
£53,319.36 package | £60,000-£65,000 OTE | 40 or 45-hour contract available
Not every Refrigeration Engineer wants the same working week.
This position gives you the choice of a 45-hour contract paying £53,319.36 including standby payments, or a 40-hour working week with the salary adjusted pro rata.
Whichever option suits you, you'll be looking after an established portfolio of retail sites across West Scotland, maintaining and repairing commercial refrigeration systems as part of a major long-term maintenance contract.
There's a 1 in 4 call-out rota, regular overtime for engineers who want to increase their earnings, 33 days' holiday, private healthcare and a 5% matched pension.
You'll work across a defined area of West Scotland rather than being tied to one site.
The job combines planned maintenance with reactive service and breakdown work, so you'll need to be comfortable managing your own day, diagnosing faults and getting refrigeration equipment back into operation.
The estate includes a range of commercial and supermarket refrigeration equipment, including refrigeration pack systems and CO2 plant.
Typical work will include:
Planned preventative maintenance on commercial refrigeration equipment
Reactive service calls and breakdown repairs
Refrigeration, electrical and control fault finding
Servicing and repairing refrigeration pack systems
Working with CO2 refrigeration equipment where suitably experienced
Component replacement and remedial repairs
Checking equipment performance and identifying developing faults
Completing the required service and maintenance documentation
Working across multiple retail locations within your allocated patch
Taking part in the 1 in 4 standby and call-out rota
It's useful, but it isn't stated as essential.
If you're already experienced with CO2 refrigeration, transcritical systems or hydrocarbons, that knowledge will be relevant to the estate.
However, additional training can be provided, making the position worth considering for an experienced Commercial Refrigeration Engineer who has strong service and fault-finding skills but wants to develop further on CO2 systems.
You'll need:
NVQ / SVQ Level 2 or 3 in Refrigeration & Air Conditioning
F-Gas Category 1, C&G 2079-1 or equivalent
Previous commercial refrigeration experience
Full UK driving licence
Experience working on retail or supermarket refrigeration systems would be advantageous, as would previous knowledge of CO2 and hydrocarbon refrigeration.
The important thing is that you're comfortable working independently as a mobile Refrigeration Engineer, carrying out service, maintenance and fault finding across commercial refrigeration plant.
The standard 45-hour contract provides:
£53,319.36 annual salary package including standby payments
OTE of approximately £60,000-£65,000
Overtime opportunities
1 in 4 standby / call-out
45-hour working week

The wider benefits include:
This is part of a large retail maintenance operation supporting refrigeration equipment across multiple sites.
That means an established workload, structured maintenance programme and long-term requirement for refrigeration engineering support across the region.
It's particularly well suited to an experienced Refrigeration Engineer, Commercial Refrigeration Engineer or Refrigeration Service Engineer who wants the stability of a major retail contract without being based at the same site every day.
If you're based in West Scotland or Glasgow and have commercial refrigeration service and maintenance experience, apply for more information about the patch, working patterns and package.
Engineers from supermarket refrigeration, retail refrigeration, commercial refrigeration and field service backgrounds are all relevant, including those looking to develop their experience on CO2 systems.
