Why This Role is a Good Opportunity
- Vacating a strong salary bracket (£40K-50K) for an engineering role in London with paid overtime and a company vehicle.
- The employer is explicitly open to visa sponsorship, which makes it accessible for international candidates who meet the skills/experience.
- Engineering roles in refrigeration/HVAC are less saturated compared to typical graduate jobs, offering stronger odds for experienced engineers.
- London and surrounding region – strong market for commercial refrigeration service – offering stable demand and potential for career growth.
- Travel, company vehicle, and overtime pay add to total compensation.
Important Considerations & Tips
- Make sure you meet the experience requirement (5-6 years minimum) because the job is clearly senior level.
- If you need visa sponsorship, check the salary threshold and occupation code for the specific role under UK immigration rules. The employer is open, but you still must meet visa eligibility.
- Ensure your CV highlights: detailed refrigeration system experience (types of machinery), installations, fault-finding, maintenance, any HVAC credentials, and your driving licence.
- London cost of living is high – while salary is good, you should assess accommodation/commute costs if relocating from abroad.
- Visa sponsorship may entail time and process; be prepared for interviews, documentation and possibly relocation logistics.
- Double-check the legitimacy of the job listing and employer. If anything seems vague (e.g., “We will pay everything”), proceed with caution. Use trusted job boards (Indeed, company website).
- Because the role is “senior” and expects strong autonomy, be ready for practical/technical questions during selection.
