Want a Cool Career with ATNZ? – Get Qualified for FREE While Earning!

Looking for a hands on career that will get you working with refrigeration and air conditioning systems?
Do you like interacting with others and enjoy problem solving?

We’re looking for motivated individuals who want to get into the RAC industry by completing an Apprenticeship through our host company based in **Penrose, Auckland.**

**What Does a Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineer Do?**

Refrigeration and air conditioning engineers install and maintain the components used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. These systems provide a climate-controlled environment for either people or goods.
This means that on one day you could be working on equipment that stores or transports perishable items such as food or medicine, and the next day you could be sorting the heating or cooling of an apartment block.
The ideal candidate is someone who can think conceptually and is happy to problem solve.

The modern refrigeration systems are a combination of Mechanical engineering and electronics, so the ideal candidate will like working across both areas.
