Are you an experienced Transport Refrigeration Engineer looking for a long-term opportunity with a well-established business?
This could be a great move if you enjoy variety, like working independently and want to join a company where quality matters just as much as getting the job done.
The transport refrigeration side of the business is well established, with 70+ lorries across a mix of customer contracts. You’ll work across a range of equipment and manufacturers rather than being tied to one brand.
