The Role

We’re seeking an experienced Lead Air Conditioning Engineer to join a fast-growing team.

You’ll be the sole technical contact for key commercial contracts, delivering high-quality PPMs, reactive maintenance, and system upgrades across a variety of AC systems.

This role goes beyond the tools — you’ll host client meetings, prepare reports and updates, and manage pricing/quotes. With planned progression opportunities, the goal is for you to step into a Contract Manager role within 18 months and lead your own team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Carry out Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM), reactive repairs, and system upgrades

  • Serve as the primary technical contact for assigned contracts

  • Attend and lead client meetings

  • Prepare technical reports and project updates

  • Produce quotations and manage pricing for works

  • Support on-call duties (details TBC)


Package & Benefits

  • Salary: Up to £46,800 per annum (DOE)

  • Holidays: 20 + 8 statutory, plus +2 after 2 years, with an option to purchase 3 additional days after probation

  • Overtime: 1.5x and 2x (Sunday double time if Saturday worked)

  • Company van: Brand new Dispatch (business use only)

  • Perks: Digital GP, high street discounts, and more

  • Career progression: Genuine path to Contract Manager within 18 months

Requirements:

  • C&G 2079 / FGAS / Refrigerant Handling
  • Experience in a client facing role
  • Willingness to go the extra mile

This opportunity is ideal for a senior-level AC engineer ready to combine hands-on expertise with client-facing leadership — and grow into managing contracts and teams within a supportive, expanding business.
