This role requires solid vocational qualifications in refrigeration technology, such as an A1 certificate (or equivalent like the former D or category 1 certificate) and education as a refrigeration technician, marine engineer, or similar. The candidate must have practical experience maintaining and operating large-scale cooling systems, specifically industrial refrigeration plants with capacities around 10MW. Key competencies include systematic operation and maintenance of refrigeration equipment, performing oil draining and oil regeneration analysis, conducting weekly machine room inspections, and comprehensive plant inspections. The role demands expertise in maintaining refrigerant quality (VSO standards) and servicing condensers to ensure optimal performance. Advanced Excel skills are necessary for data analysis and reporting, especially related to energy management and audits. The technician will contribute to reducing energy consumption, minimizing oil usage, ensuring refrigerant containment, and maintaining high operational stability. Experience in training apprentices is also required, indicating leadership and mentoring abilities. Candidates should be self-driven, experienced, and capable of working independently within a technical department, reporting directly to the technical manager. The position offers responsibility for one of Northern Europe's largest cold storage facilities, emphasizing environmental impact, energy efficiency, and operational reliability. Overall, this mid-level vocational role demands a blend of hands-on refrigeration technical skills, process management, energy-conscious operation, and team collaboration in a demanding industrial environment.
