Prefer planned maintenance to spending every day on emergency breakdowns?

We''re recruiting a Refrigeration PPM Engineer to maintain commercial refrigeration equipment across retail sites in Liverpool and the surrounding areas.

You''ll inspect equipment, assess its condition, identify worn or failing components and carry out servicing in line with maintenance schedules and compliance requirements. Where remedial work is needed, you''ll record your findings and recommend the appropriate repairs or replacement.
Although you''ll be expected to support reactive breakdowns when required, the main priority is delivering planned maintenance and keeping refrigeration equipment safe, compliant and operational.
