Refrigeration Mechanic — Transport Refrigeration Units (Carrier & Thermo King)

Coolway Trans | Yennora & Glendenning, NSW | Full-time, permanent | $45–$60 per hour + fully equipped service vehicle

Coolway Trans is a family-owned, 100% asset-based temperature-controlled carrier operating nationally with 280+ pieces of equipment. Our fridge units are the business — if they stop, the freight stops. We're looking for a refrigeration mechanic to keep them running.

This is a refrigeration-only role. You won't be pulled onto engine, brake or trailer work — our heavy vehicle mechanics handle that.

Our fleet runs Carrier HE 19, Carrier Supra 1250 and Thermo King A-500 units. If you know these platforms, you'll be productive from day one.

You'll get your own service vehicle, purpose set-up for transport refrigeration work — gauges, recovery and charging gear, diagnostic tools, common spares and consumables on board. Turn up, diagnose, fix, move on. No waiting on someone else's ute.

You'll work across both our Yennora and Glendenning sites, reporting directly to the Fleet Manager.

The role

Scheduled servicing on Carrier HE 19, Carrier Supra 1250 and Thermo King A-500 units

Routine work: belts, filters, oil, coolant, defrost checks, pre-trip inspections, refrigerant top-ups and leak checks

Diagnostics and fault-finding — controller alarms, sensors, electrical faults, low capacity, poor pull-down, airflow issues

Component replacement and repair: compressors, condensers, evaporators, solenoids, valves, fans

Downloading and interpreting temperature data and unit logs

Keeping service records up to date for compliance and unit history

What you'll need

Refrigeration and air conditioning trade qualification

ARCtick refrigerant handling licence (or eligible to obtain)

Hands-on experience with Carrier and/or Thermo King transport refrigeration units — direct experience on our unit types is a strong advantage

Nice to have

Manufacturer training or certification from Carrier or Thermo King

Experience with multi-temp and multi-zone units

What we offer

$50–$60 per hour, depending on experience and diagnostic capability

Fully equipped service vehicle

Permanent, stable role in a family-owned business that's growing

Direct line to the Fleet Manager — no layers, decisions get made

Modern, well-maintained fleet and purpose-built facilities

Overtime and after-hours callout work available, paid accordingly
