Job Description

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.

The Role

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.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • 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

What You’ll Need

  • 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

What’s On Offer

  • £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

What’s Next

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.
