Senior HVAC/R Technician | Future Service Manager | Airlie Beach & Whitsundays

Ready to swap traffic, long commutes and repetitive work for a lifestyle most people only dream about?

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established and rapidly growing HVAC and Refrigeration contractor based in the beautiful Whitsundays. With more than 25 years in business, they've built an outstanding reputation for delivering high-quality commercial and residential HVAC and refrigeration solutions across North Queensland.

Due to continued growth, they're looking for an experienced Senior HVAC/R Technician to join the team and play a key leadership role within the business. This is a genuine opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their career and progress into a Service Manager position over time.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

This isn't your typical service role.
No two days are the same.
You'll work across a diverse range of projects including:

• Commercial HVAC systems
• Commercial refrigeration
• Supermarket refrigeration
• Cold rooms and freezer rooms
• Marine air conditioning and refrigeration
• Ice machines
• Glycol systems
• Post mix and beer systems
• High-end residential installations
• Fault finding, service, maintenance and installations

If you're someone who enjoys technical variety and solving challenging problems, this role offers an incredible breadth of work rarely found elsewhere.

The Opportunity
Initially, you'll be joining as a senior member of the technical team, acting as the go-to person for technicians and apprentices while remaining hands-on where required.

As you establish yourself, you'll gradually step into more leadership responsibilities, mentoring the team, supporting daily operations and helping drive the continued growth of the business.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced technician who's ready to transition into management while still enjoying being on the tools.

About You
We're looking for someone who is technically strong, approachable and enjoys helping others succeed.

You'll ideally have:

• Certificate III in Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
• Current ARCtick Refrigerant Handling Licence
• Extensive experience in commercial HVAC and refrigeration
• Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills
• Experience across commercial service and maintenance
• Experience with cold rooms, supermarket refrigeration or commercial refrigeration systems
• Excellent communication and customer service skills
• A proactive attitude and strong work ethic
• The ability to mentor apprentices and support other technicians
• Current Australian Driver's Licence

Experience with marine refrigeration, post mix systems, beer systems or glycol systems is highly regarded but not essential.

Leadership or supervisory experience is also highly desirable, although experienced senior technicians looking to step into leadership are strongly encouraged to apply.

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary package based on experience
• Fully maintained company vehicle
• Fuel card
• Phone and work equipment provided
• Paid on-call allowance and overtime
• Genuine career progression into a Service Manager role
• Ongoing technical development across a broad range of equipment
• Support with relocation and assistance sourcing accommodation for interstate candidates
• Visa sponsorship available for the right candidate
• Stable, growing business with a supportive management team
• Opportunity to make a real impact within the company

If you're looking for more than just another HVAC role and want to build a long-term career in one of Australia's most desirable locations, we'd love to hear from you.
