Service Engineer (Industrial Refrigeration)
Doncaster / England
Step into a hands-on Service Engineer role with a sustainability-led industrial refrigeration specialist, working across the UK with the backing of three decades of European engineering heritage.

Why a career in industrial refrigeration matters
Industrial refrigeration sits at the heart of the UK's food supply, logistics and process manufacturing sectors, and the shift towards natural refrigerants is reshaping the industry as carbon reduction targets bite. Engineers with ammonia experience are in increasingly short supply, which makes this Service Engineer role a strong long-term move both financially and in terms of relevance. Joining a manufacturer rather than a third-party contractor gives you deeper product knowledge, factory-level technical support and a clearer route into senior service, commissioning or technical leadership positions over time.
