Are you a talented Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Service Engineer, looking for your next challenge with an employer that cares deeply for its employees, provides excellent training opportunities, and has a history of long serving employees?

What could you learn?
We have our own, bespoke City and Guilds accredited training centre. Last year, we delivered training to 117 engineers on service and maintenance, commissioning, brazing, refrigeration, water chillers, and more.

We believe strongly in providing training for our employees and courses are constantly reviewed and developed, allowing us to stay up to date with current technology and ways of working.

What You'll be doing
As a Service Engineer your goal is simple: to help our clients and deliver an outstanding service. Diagnosing, fault-finding, and fixing problems is the name of the game.

Our client sites include a wide range of industrial and commercial premises such as food processing, offices, pharmaceuticals, domestic, and many more. This branch does predominantly air conditioning, plus some refrigeration on varying scales.

We hold the highest accreditations with the best-known brands such as Danfoss, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Panasonic and Fujitsu. This gives our engineers access to the latest manufacturers’ training and technical support.

You will have your own, high spec, fully racked van to travel to sites. And your own tablet for receiving your jobs, completing service sheets, etc.

It’s a busy, sometimes pressurized job, which is the nature of our industry. But you have a supportive team and many highly skilled, experienced colleagues to call on and to learn from.

What’s in it for you?

· A generous basic wage plus paid travel time, overtime, and standby rates.
· Excellent training opportunities.
· 25 days holiday per annum, plus bank holidays, increasing with service.
· Pension Scheme.
· Working hours are 40 hours per week, plus overtime.
· Engineers take turns to be on standby for out-of-hours calls and are paid a standby allowance plus overtime if they are called out.

What do you need to have?

· Demonstrable knowledge and experience as a mobile air conditioning service engineer.
· You need to hold Refrigerant handling C&G2079 or equivalent and a full UK driving Licence.
· An industry-specific training qualification, at NVQ2 level, would be an added advantage.

Due to the safeguarding requirements of our customers, many of whom are schools or hospitals, we complete confidential criminal record checks on all roles that attend customer sites. If you are successful, you will be required to complete an advanced DBS check with a barred lists check. We strictly follow the DBS code of practice and comply with the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

The Future of Biotechnology Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Biotechnology is one of the most transformative sectors of the 21st century. It sits at the intersection of biology, technology, and engineering, and is already reshaping healthcare, agriculture, and industry. In the UK, biotechnology contributes billions to the economy, with innovation clusters in Cambridge, Oxford, London, and Manchester producing world-leading breakthroughs in genomics, cell therapies, and synthetic biology. But what we see today is just the beginning. Advances in gene editing, biomanufacturing, AI-driven drug discovery, and personalised medicine are accelerating so quickly that many of the most important biotechnology careers of the future don’t even exist yet. Just as jobs like “social media manager” or “cloud architect” would have been unimaginable twenty years ago, biotechnology is creating new professions at a speed that outpaces current education and training frameworks. This article explores the future of biotechnology jobs, the types of careers that don’t yet exist, why they are emerging, and how the UK workforce can prepare.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Biotechnology Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's biotechnology sector has evolved into one of Europe's most dynamic and lucrative career markets, with roles spanning from laboratory research to regulatory affairs and bioprocessing engineering. With biotech positions commanding salaries ranging from £28,000 for entry-level research associates to £95,000+ for senior directors, understanding when companies actively recruit can significantly enhance your job search success. Unlike traditional industries, biotechnology hiring follows distinct seasonal patterns driven by research funding cycles, regulatory submission deadlines, and academic collaboration timelines. The sector's unique blend of scientific rigour, commercial pressure, and regulatory oversight creates predictable hiring windows that savvy professionals can leverage to advance their careers. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for biotechnology job applications in the UK, examining how funding announcements, clinical trial phases, and academic calendars influence when companies expand their teams and why strategic timing can make the difference between landing your ideal role and missing the opportunity entirely.

Pre-Employment Checks for Biotechnology Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

However, securing a position in this highly regulated and security-conscious industry involves comprehensive pre-employment screening that goes far beyond typical recruitment processes. Whether you're a research scientist, bioprocess engineer, regulatory affairs specialist, or clinical trial manager, understanding the extensive vetting requirements is essential for successfully navigating your career in biotechnology. This comprehensive guide explores the various background checks and screening processes you'll encounter when applying for biotech positions in the UK, from basic eligibility verification to stringent security and regulatory compliance assessments.
