HVAC & refrigeration technician recruitment
From residential split systems to commercial plant and mechanical services, we recruit HVAC and refrigeration technicians for employers and help technicians find their next role.
The trades we cover
HVAC and refrigeration is broad — residential split-system installers, commercial HVAC technicians working on VRV/VRF systems and chillers, commercial refrigeration technicians, and maintenance technicians keeping existing plant running. We also place people working across the wider mechanical services space where HVAC overlaps with hydraulics or building automation. Refrigerant handling requires a current ARCtick licence covering the right class of work, and that's the first thing we verify for every candidate.
What employers are dealing with
Install work and service/maintenance work draw on genuinely different skills, and residential experience doesn't automatically translate to commercial systems. Employers hiring for commercial HVAC or refrigeration roles often need technicians with specific plant-type experience — not just "HVAC experience" broadly — which means a generic recruitment process tends to under-deliver. We screen specifically for the plant types, system sizes, and install-vs-service split your role actually needs.
Opportunities for technicians
If you're looking to move from residential into commercial work, broaden into mechanical services, or just find an employer with a better on-call and workload balance, we take the time to understand your actual experience — plant types, refrigerant classes, install vs. service — and match it to roles that genuinely fit.
