If you’re a specialist who knows that a few degrees can make a world of difference, we want to hear from you. We are looking for a dedicated Catering Refrigeration Engineer to join the CBRE team. In this role, you’ll be the technical expert ensuring that vital cold-storage and kitchen systems remain operational, efficient, and safe. You won’t just be maintaining hardware; you’ll be protecting our clients' inventory and ensuring their operations never skip a beat.
What You’ll Do
* Take total ownership of planned and reactive maintenance tasks, working independently to keep critical cooling systems and kitchen services running at peak performance.
* Act as the first line of defence for emergency repairs, diagnosing faults and restoring service rapidly to meet demanding service level agreements.
* Prioritise safety above all else by conducting personal risk assessments, managing the permit‑to‑work system, and ensuring every repair meets current QHSE regulations.
* Close out help desk requests and work orders with precision, ensuring all digital documentation and service reports are completed promptly.
* Bridge the gap between the plant room and the front office by building trusting, professional relationships with Facilities Managers and kitchen staff.
* Supervise and support third‑party subcontractors on‑site, ensuring their work aligns with our high quality and safety standards.
* Manage the “fix” from start to finish, which includes identifying required parts and coordinating with technical administration for procurement.
* Stay ahead of the curve by spotting potential equipment failures early and escalating urgent technical issues to Engineering Leaders before they become disasters.
* Contribute your own ideas and initiatives to help us innovate, improve energy efficiency, and deliver a world‑class service to our clients.
* Lend your expertise to installation projects and other technical tasks as needed to support the wider engineering team.
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience in maintaining commercial refrigeration units, walk‑in cold rooms, and catering equipment.
* Relevant F‑Gas certification and technical electrical/mechanical qualifications are essential.
* The ability to troubleshoot complex cooling cycles and control circuits under pressure.
* A professional demeanor with the communication skills to explain technical issues to non-technical staff.
* A disciplined approach to current regulations and a commitment to safe working practices.
