About the Role
RG Setsquare is recruiting on behalf of a leading facilities management contractor for an experienced HVAC Technician to join their team covering the M40 corridor between Coventry and Oxford. This is a field‑based role working on a high‑profile large retail estate – a busy, well‑supported environment where the standard of technical delivery genuinely matters. You will be responsible for planned and reactive HVAC and gas maintenance across a portfolio of large‑format retail sites, working to clear SLAs and high expectations of customer service.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Completing the planned preventive maintenance (PPM) schedule across your allocated sites, ensuring all paperwork is completed accurately and to the required procedures.
- Responding promptly to reactive service calls and alarm requests from the central helpdesk, assessing job requirements and carrying out repairs within agreed response times.
- Servicing and maintaining a wide range of HVAC assets including air handling units with gas‑fired heating, LPHW systems, DX coils, heat pump systems, single split air conditioning, LPHW boilers, pumps, inverters, DHW boilers, and water chillers.
- Identifying non‑repairable faults in plant and machinery and making clear recommendations to your line manager regarding suitable replacements.
- Updating job and call status on the client’s CAFM system following every site visit.
- Delivering all work in full compliance with Health, Safety & Environmental policies.
- Representing the business professionally with client site teams at all times – a friendly, can‑do approach is as important as technical ability.
What We’re Looking For
- Commercial gas qualifications – COCN1, CCCN1, CIGA1, CORT1, ICPN1, BMP1, CCP1, TPCP1, TPCP1A.
- F‑Gas – City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate.
- Unvented water heaters – HWSS Hot Water Systems & Safety (including G3 Unvented HWS).
- Full UK Driving Licence.
Desirable
- 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (City & Guilds) or 17th Edition (City & Guilds).
- Proven experience in HVAC and gas maintenance within a multi‑site commercial or retail FM environment.
- Professional, customer‑focused approach – working in live retail environments and dealing with site managers daily.
- Strong self‑management skills – comfortable planning your own day and hitting response time SLAs without close supervision.
- Positive, flexible attitude and willingness to travel daily across the M40 corridor.
Package
- £47k total salary inclusive of standby payments.
- Overtime paid on top of base salary.
- Paid travel time.
- 33 days holiday (inclusive of bank holidays).
- Private healthcare.
- Life insurance.
- Private pension.
