Critical Cooling Engineer

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.

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.
