Air Conditioning Installation Engineer in Southampton

Local work, a company van and home every night. Forget the motorway miles, the hotel rooms and the nationwide rota.

We're recruiting a permanent Domestic Air Conditioning Installer on behalf of an established AC and building services company that's been in the trade for over 30 years. This role is based on a fixed patch in and around Southampton, and you'll be fully kitted out from your first day.

Your day-to-day

You'll fit wall-mounted split and multi-split air conditioning systems in customers' homes. The office takes care of planning and booking, so you'll work to a proper diary instead of being pulled around the country.

You'll also survey some of your own upcoming jobs a few weeks before they're due. By install day you've already seen the property, so you're never caught out by a bad survey from someone else.

Working for yourself at the moment? This role replaces quoting and invoice-chasing with a regular salary, planned work and paid holiday.

Who we're looking for

Strong experience installing domestic air conditioning systems (split and multi-split)

Comfortable carrying out your own site surveys

Clean, courteous and professional when working in people's homes

Worth knowing

This is purely domestic work. There's no VRV, no VRF, no chillers or plant rooms, and no nationwide travel. If you want a lot of commercial variety, or prefer reporting to a depot every morning, this isn't the role for you. If you'd value well-planned local work and evenings at home, it is.

What's on offer

£45,000 to £50,000 depending on experience

Permanent and directly employed

Company van and installation kit provided

23 days holiday plus bank holidays

Paid overtime, plus weekend work if you want it

Travel paid after the first 15 minutes each way

A set patch around Southampton with no overnight stays
