Commercial refrigeration jobs in TwickenhamCreate job alerts

Is this you?\n\nYou work nights. Or you’d rather work nights. Monday to Thursday, done by Thursday morning, three days off every week. If that shift pattern genuinely fits your life – childcare, a partner’s schedule, or simply a preference for working without the daytime noise around you – this role was built around exactly that.\n\nYou’re a senior AC engineer with at least five years in commercial environments. You’ve moved past the learning phase. You know your way around VRVs, VRFs, splits and refrigeration, and you don’t need anyone checking your work.\n\nIf the idea of one fixed site, one long-term contract, and full ownership of your own work appeals – keep reading.\n\nWhat you’ll be doing as a Senior AC Engineer\n\nThis is the flagship contract for a specialist HVAC and refrigeration business – a major Heathrow terminal, held for years, recently renewed with four more years to run. Your job is to own it.\n\nThe core of the work is PPM across the terminal’s AC and HVAC systems – VRVs, VRFs, splits, humidors and ice machines. But the business doesn’t want an engineer who ticks boxes and moves on. They want someone who looks at a unit and thinks ahead – what’s likely to fail, when, and how to prevent it before the summer peak puts pressure on everything.\n\nReactive work is handled during the same night windows. Night-only access is fixed – that’s how Heathrow works – so how you plan your time on site matters. This isn’t 50 callouts a day across multiple sites. It’s one location, one client, managed properly.\n\nReporting goes through a CRM system. The airport client expects thorough documentation – what was done, what was observed, what’s coming next. If you already write decent job notes, this fits naturally.\n\nWhere you’ll be doing it\n\nA specialist HVAC and refrigeration contractor, with a long-standing presence at Heathrow and authorised signatory status on site. The team is small and direct – director, service manager, coordinator. Support from the office is practical and responsive. You’ll be trusted to run your own show on site, but you won’t be left to figure things out alone.\n\nWhat you’ll need\n\nF-Gas certification and a full UK driving licence. Security clearance eligibility for airside access – if you’ve worked in regulated environments before, this is familiar territory. At least five years of commercial AC or HVAC service experience is the baseline.\n\nWhat you’ll get\n\n£50,000-£55,000 (top of range on successful completion of probation)\n\nCompany van, phone and tools\n\n25 days holiday\n\nMonday to Thursday nights, maximum 8 hours – and often less. Your weekend starts Friday morning.\n\nWhat happens next?\n\nIf this sounds like it fits, send whatever CV you’ve got handy – doesn’t need to be perfect. Everyone gets a response
