Service Technician – HVAC / Refrigeration

$45–$50+ per hour + monthly bankable RDOs, company car for experienced HVAC technicians

Your new company

A well-established building services provider with a strong footprint across NSW, this organisation delivers high-quality HVAC and refrigeration services to commercial and operational environments. With a strong focus on safety, retention and long-term careers, the business actively supports technicians transitioning from residential work into commercial servicing.

Your new role

As a Service Technician, you will service, maintain and repair HVAC and refrigeration systems across a range of client sites. Working largely autonomously, you’ll engage directly with customers, diagnose faults and complete work efficiently while ensuring all safety and compliance standards are met.
This opportunity suits technicians with 5–10 years’ experience, including those coming from the residential sector who are keen to broaden their exposure to commercial systems without moving into construction‑style site work.

What you'll need to succeed

  • 5–10 years’ experience as a refrigeration or HVAC service technician
  • Certificate III in Refrigeration & Air Conditioning
  • Current ARCTick / ARC Licence
  • Strong fault‑finding and diagnostic capability
  • Comfortable working on live systems in occupied buildings
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
  • Strong communication skills and a customer‑focused approach
  • Current driver’s licence and a strong safety mindset

What you'll get in return

In return, you’ll secure a permanent position offering strong conditions and genuine work‑life balance:
  • $45–$50+ per hour, depending on experience
  • RDO one day per month, with flexibility to bank time (not a rigid construction calendar)
  • Company vehicle, fuel card and mobile phone provided
  • Income protection insurance and additional employee benefits
  • Long‑term, stable role with consistent service work
  • Ongoing training and development, particularly for residential technicians moving into commercial
  • Supportive team culture with a strong focus on safety and professionalism
