£65,000 to £70,000 on the books as your base - no CIS, no umbrella, and overtime on top of that. A straight employed salary at a level most install engineers in London are only seeing on self-employed rates. The more interesting detail is what you'll be learning while you're earning it. The business is the sole UK distributor for a water-cooled system that appears on no other UK job spec. It's built for environments where a standard outdoor unit isn't an option - heritage buildings, planning-restricted urban sites, locations with no suitable external space. Engineers who develop expertise on it here can't find that experience anywhere else in the country. What's in it for you £65,000 to £70,000 basic salary Company van with fuel card Phone, tablet, uniform, PPE and specialist tools provided Expenses paid weekly - not at month-end 23 days holiday plus bank holidays plus your birthday off, rising to 30 days over time Overtime paid above 50 hours a week Travel over an hour each way paid additionally What you'll be doing Install-led work across London and the South East - splits, multi-splits and air-to-air across commercial sites, schools, data centres and high-end central London residential. You'll manage your own day and take jobs from start to completion without needing to check in at each step. Site is where you'll spend most of your time - you'll rarely need to come into the office. The pipeline is strong and the workload is consistent. When demand requires it, you'll flex into service and fault-finding - but install is the primary focus, and reactive support is the exception. What you'll need F Gas Level 2 is essential - without it the process won't go further. Solid install experience across splits, multi-splits and general air-to-air. Panasonic or Fujitsu background is useful. Full UK driving licence. Water-cooled system experience isn't required and it won't come up at interview. Any wet-side or plumbing background is worth mentioning, but it's not a condition of the role. What next? If this sounds like the right fit, send over your CV - doesn't need to be perfect. Everything starts with a confidential conversation. Your details won't go anywhere near the client without your agreement.
