We’re recruiting for a Critical Cooling Engineer to join a specialist HVAC contractor focused exclusively on data centres and mission-critical environments. This is not domestic, not light commercial, and not low-grade maintenance work. It’s chillers, CRAC/CRAH units, TurboCore compressors, and complex cooling systems where uptime genuinely matters.
You’ll carry out service and maintenance across high-end critical cooling equipment, working mainly across the Midlands with occasional travel to sites in Slough, Reading, and South Wales.
This is a hands-on technical role within a close-knit, experienced engineering team. You’ll be trusted to diagnose properly, solve problems, and represent the business professionally on site.
- Service and maintenance of chillers, VRF/VRV systems, and CRAC units
- Fault-finding and reactive repair on mission-critical cooling plant
- Working directly with data centre operators and on-site technical teams
- Completing service documentation and reports
- Supporting projects outside your region when required
- Strong VRF/VRV experience (essential)
- Chiller, TurboCore or close-control experience highly desirable
- F-Gas certification
- Comfortable with travel and occasional nights away
- Based within reach of Birmingham or Coventry
- Full UK driving licence
- £50,000 – £60,000 salary
- Door-to-door travel pay
- Van with private use
- Low, informal callout rotation shared across a small senior team
- Company laptop and iPhone
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays
If you’re looking for a role that offers proper variety, high-end critical cooling work, and a clear route deeper into data centre environments - this is worth a conversation.
Send over your CV (it doesn’t need to be perfect) and we’ll take it from there.
