A full-time opening has arisen in Newton Park, Eastern Cape, for a refrigeration technician to join the Services Business Unit at Rubicon. The role is hands-on, field-based work focused on repairs, breakdowns, installation and service of refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
About the company and the work
Rubicon describes itself as a leading industrial automation solutions supplier to the manufacturing sector and related sectors, working under the banner Advancing Industrial Technology. This vacancy sits in its Services Business Unit, where technicians support customers in factory and industrial settings.
The work is practical rather than desk-based. It involves travelling to customer sites, understanding what a customer needs, and delivering a solution from Rubicon that is both workable and cost-effective. Service reports and clear communication with colleagues and service partners are a central part of the job.

- Installing, servicing and repairing refrigeration and air conditioning systems, and all associated tasks.
- Building an overall understanding of industrial air conditioners.
- Working with intercoolers and heat exchangers, with a good working knowledge of both.
- Understanding customer requirements and providing the most cost-effective solution available from Rubicon.
- Completing required service reports and communicating them to the relevant people.
- Communicating field service activities with the Service Technician.
- Coordinating and working well with Service Partners.

Where to find / apply safely
Use the Apply button on this page, which links to the original Indeed listing for this vacancy. On Indeed, the listing shows an Apply on company site option. Apply only through that original route, and be cautious of anyone asking for a fee or for payment to secure an interview.
Practical tips
Before you apply, check your CV against the refrigeration qualification and the 4-year experience requirement, and make your field service experience easy to find. Give concrete examples of refrigeration and air conditioning work, including fault-finding with electrical meters, and show that you are comfortable working independently in factory environments. If you hold a valid driver’s licence, state that clearly, since site work is part of the role.
