Handyman
Up to £35,000 | South & London | Some UK Travel

We’re looking for a practical, hands-on person to join a busy refrigeration business in a varied support role working alongside experienced Refrigeration Engineers.
This isn’t a Refrigeration Engineer position and you don’t need to be refrigeration qualified. Instead, we’re looking for someone who is physically fit, practical, reliable and happy to get stuck into whatever needs doing.
You’ll spend much of your time travelling to customer sites across the South and into London, supporting engineers and carrying out a wide variety of practical tasks.
What will you be doing? No two days will be exactly the same, but duties could include:

• Assisting Refrigeration Engineers on customer sites
• Helping move, position and handle refrigeration equipment
• Replacing door seals, handles and other basic components
• Collecting and delivering parts and materials
• Carrying out straightforward repairs and maintenance tasks
• Preparing areas and equipment ready for engineers
• Attending sites independently to deal with smaller jobs
• Providing general hands-on support wherever required
• Working both independently and as part of an engineering team

This is a role for someone who enjoys being out and about rather than sitting behind a desk and who is genuinely happy to turn their hand to different jobs.
What are we looking for? You don’t need a particular engineering qualification. Attitude and reliability are much more important.
We’re looking for someone who:

• Is practical, hands-on and comfortable using basic tools
• Is physically fit and happy helping move equipment
• Has a strong work ethic and a genuine “get stuck in” attitude
• Can be trusted to work independently when required
• Communicates well with engineers, customers and colleagues
• Is reliable and looking for a stable, long-term position
• Is happy with regular travel throughout the South and London
• Is prepared to travel further afield occasionally when required
• Is comfortable with the very occasional overnight stay

Overnight stays are not expected to be a regular part of the role — potentially only once every few months — but flexibility is important when a job requires it. Accommodation and appropriate expenses will, of course, be covered.
Previous experience in a handyman, maintenance, facilities, installation, construction, engineering support, workshop or similar practical environment would be useful, but we’re equally interested in someone at an earlier stage of their career who has the right attitude.
A full UK driving licence will be required due to the travelling nature of the role.
What’s on offer?

• Salary up to £35,000
• Varied, hands-on work
• Opportunity to work alongside experienced Refrigeration Engineers
• Plenty of independence once established
• Travel across a range of customer sites
• Long-term opportunity within an established engineering environment

Immediate availability would be advantageous, although this isn’t essential.
If you’re practical, reliable, physically fit and looking for a varied role where you can get out on the road and become a valued part of an engineering team, we’d be keen to hear from you.
