The broad purpose of a Refrigeration Engineer is to install, commission, maintain and repair commercial fridge equipment. This includes but is not limited to, undercounter, freestanding and walk in fridge and freezers.

The work also includes ice machines. Equipment may be gas or electrical and may involve plumbing and electronic controls. Depending on the work required, they may spend the day at one site or working across a number of venues, working to deadlines.

Aa the apprentice you will work with a fully qualified engineer to assist them in the day to day jobs and learn how this is done. You will also assist in the completion of compliance documentation and paperwork on the completion of jobs. Installations involve unpacking and in some cases assembling equipment, connecting in accordance with the equipment manufacturers instructions to suitable services (gas, electricity, water and drainage) and commissioning.

Where an installation involves the removal of equipment, engineers disconnect the redundant item, remove it to a safe area for disposal and make safe any services no longer required. On maintenance visits, engineers visually inspect the equipment, check the services for any problems, carry out maintenance tasks as specified by the manufa.
