Our power and HVAC technicians deliver power, and cooling to customers and communities across Africa, from the busiest cities to the most remote places on the continent. We’re always looking for knowledgeable, reliable, and passionate technicians to help us make a difference.
On the job as a technician
- Technicians can be stationed at one of our various sites across Africa, working on a rotational basis, or at depots in countries like South Africa.
- You’ll probably spend more time with customers than anyone else in Aggreko – our technicians often build the most trust with them and regularly ‘save the day’ by coming up with solutions and responding to their service callouts.
- Day to day, you’ll install, maintain and repair our equipment, troubleshoot and resolve problems, and conduct safety inspections to make sure we comply with Aggreko's safety standards. You’ll become an expert that others in the team can turn to – across a huge variety of technologies, including power generators, HVAC equipment, battery storage, solar panels, electrical distribution equipment and oil-free air compressors.
Bring your energy. Grow your career.
