Location: Dubai, UAE
Employment Type: Full-time

About the Role

Expat Group is looking for an experienced and technically strong HVAC Technician to join our Home Maintenance team in Dubai.

We are looking for technicians who can do more than basic AC servicing. The successful candidate must be confident in fault finding, diagnosis, repair and preventative maintenance across residential air-conditioning systems and be able to clearly identify and report the root cause of faults.

You will work in customers' homes across Dubai and will therefore be expected to combine excellent technical ability with professional behaviour, clear communication and a high standard of workmanship.

Key Responsibilities

• Diagnose and repair residential air-conditioning faults.
• Carry out preventative and corrective AC maintenance.
• Service and repair split, ducted split, package and fan coil unit systems.
• Diagnose electrical and mechanical AC faults accurately.
• Test compressors, motors, capacitors, contactors, relays, sensors and associated components.
• Diagnose refrigerant-related faults and identify potential leaks.
• Carry out refrigerant pressure and temperature checks.
• Perform refrigerant leak testing, vacuuming and charging correctly.
• Diagnose drainage problems and carry out drain line repairs and cleaning.
• Inspect and clean evaporator and condenser coils.
• Diagnose airflow and cooling-performance issues.
• Identify failed components and recommend the correct repair rather than replacing parts unnecessarily.
• Carry out AC installation and replacement works where required.
• Complete testing and commissioning following repairs and installations.
• Provide clear technical reports, photographs and recommendations following each visit.
• Identify additional or follow-up works and provide accurate information for quotation preparation.
• Communicate clearly with the office and operational management regarding job status and technical findings.
• Maintain company tools and equipment in good condition.
• Maintain a clean and organised company vehicle and working environment.
• Follow company health and safety procedures at all times.
• Protect customers' property and leave the working area clean following completion.
• Deliver a professional and courteous customer experience.

• Electrical fault finding
• Compressor diagnosis
• Motors and fan assemblies
• Capacitors, contactors and relays
• Thermostats and controls
• Temperature and pressure measurement
• Condensate drainage systems
• Coil cleaning and maintenance
• Airflow and cooling-performance diagnosis

Experience with VRF/VRV systems, chilled-water systems and advanced HVAC controls would be a strong advantage.

Candidate Requirements

• Minimum 3 years' practical HVAC/AC experience preferred.
• Previous UAE maintenance experience is strongly preferred.
• Residential/home-maintenance experience would be a significant advantage.
• Strong fault-finding and diagnostic ability.
• Able to use HVAC diagnostic equipment including multimeter, clamp meter and manifold gauges.
• Able to work independently and make sound technical decisions.
• Good spoken English and able to communicate professionally with customers and colleagues.
• Able to prepare clear job reports and technical findings.
• Professional appearance and behaviour.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Willing to work shifts and participate in emergency/on-call coverage when required.
• Able to work effectively with drivers, other technicians and the office team.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for technicians who take pride in finding the actual cause of a problem and fixing it correctly.

A successful Expat HVAC Technician should be able to attend a difficult AC fault, take the appropriate readings, diagnose the system logically and clearly explain what needs to be repaired.

We value technical ability, honesty, reliability, professionalism and quality of workmanship.

Technicians who demonstrate strong technical ability and leadership potential will have opportunities to develop as the Home Maintenance division continues to grow.
