Leading Hand – Refrigeration Mechanic

2 weeks ago

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Extrordinair PL Full time $80,000 - $100,000 per year

This is a hybrid role — combining hands-on installations now with leadership and coordination responsibilities that grow over time.

  • Installing ducted splits and multi-split systems in new homes, working with leading suppliers such as Panasonic, Rinnai, Braemar, and Bonaire
  • Running projects from start to finish, taking ownership of outcomes
  • Coordinating with suppliers and subcontractors to keep projects moving
  • Conducting site visits for planning and problem-solving before works commence
  • Growing into a leadership/coordination role over time — as apprentices become independent, you'll spend less time on the tools and more time mentoring, planning, and client-facing (without being tied to a desk)
  • Training and developing apprentices — instilling the right habits and skills as they progress

Why You'll Love It Here:

  • Career growth: This is our most senior on-the-tools role. You'll report directly to the owners, with opportunities to progress further.
  • Autonomy: No red tape. If you see a better way to do something, make it happen.
  • Strong pipeline: Consistent work with trusted clients and respected suppliers.
  • Culture fit: At ExtrordinAir, we live by the saying "work hard, play hard." We give our all on site and back each other as a team — but we also know how to celebrate our wins and enjoy the ride. Reliability, teamwork, and pride in workmanship are non-negotiables here. If this resonates with you, we encourage you to apply — and we'll happily show you what this really looks like day-to-day.

What We're Looking For:

  • Qualified Refrigeration Mechanic (Certificate III in Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration) — essential
  • Refrigerant Handling Licence & current Victorian driver's licence
  • Proven ability to run jobs end-to-end
  • Experience leading apprentices or small teams on-site
  • Hands-on, with strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Strong alignment with our culture of reliability, teamwork, and "work hard, play hard" spirit

What We Offer:

  • $105,000 – $115,000 + super (equivalent to $50–$55/hr) — including fully maintained vehicle, phone, and tools provided
  • RDOs and extras that make a difference
  • Excellent working conditions and supportive team environment
  • A long-term career pathway into senior roles
