Job Description

Location:

Working on sites across London and the South East, office in Croydon

Position:

Full-time, Permanent

About Us

Elite Renewables installs heat pumps, solar panels, and other renewable energy systems for homes and businesses across London and the South East.

The renewable energy sector is booming and we're growing fast. This job gives you steady work all year - AC in summer and ventilation/MVHR work in winter. You'll work with the latest kit and help the UK hit its green targets.

The Job

The Air Conditioning Engineer will work across a wide range of HVAC systems, supporting installation, project work, reactive callouts, and planned maintenance. You'll be installing air conditioning systems - from simple splits in houses to big VRV systems in offices and shops. As we also do heating work, there's plenty of work all year round, not just in summer.

The ideal candidate is confident, adaptable, and capable of working on varied systems within high-end residential properties, schools, offices, and bespoke industrial projects. You will also play a key role in overseeing installation quality, advising on materials and resources, and contributing to the development of the engineering team.

This role would suit someone looking to move into a more technical and customer facing role within the HVAC industry.

Our team takes pride in their work and appreciate that doing a great job means more than just the install - we're here to give customers a great service that keeps them coming back and referring their friends to us.

What You'll Be Doing

Carry out installation, service, maintenance, and repair works on a variety of AC and HVAC systems, including splits, VRVs, chillers, AHUs, LTHW/chilled systems, MVHR, ventilation, air source heat pumps, and mechanical systems. Support the HVAC Manager in managing and overseeing project works and installations. Assist with reactive and planned service operations. Provide occasional call-out support during working hours. Identify and notify management of variations, additional works, or potential improvements. Advise on equipment, materials, and subcontractor requirements. Work toward key performance indicators and ensure high standards of quality and efficiency. Help train assistants and contribute to building a strong engineering team. Develop strong working relationships with the HVAC Manager and support shared departmental goals. Show ambition and readiness to progress into a supervisory or senior engineering role.
