You’ll get hands-on experience working on large industrial refrigeration systems, ammonia plants, cool rooms, process cooling equipment, compressors, pumps, controls and associated electrical equipment.

About the role

As an apprentice, you will work alongside experienced refrigeration mechanics and gradually develop the skills required to become a qualified refrigeration mechanic.

Your work will include:

• Servicing and maintaining industrial refrigeration equipment
• Working on ammonia refrigeration systems
• Working on compressors, condensers, evaporators, pumps and associated equipment

• Takes safety seriously
• Has an interest in industrial refrigeration, mechanical systems and electrical controls

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to learn a specialised trade with a strong future, working on equipment and systems that most refrigeration mechanics don't get exposure to.

You'll gain experience across both the mechanical and electrical sides of refrigeration, with the opportunity to develop specialised skills in industrial refrigeration.

You'll be supported by experienced tradespeople throughout your apprenticeship and given the opportunity to build a long-term career in the industry.
