APAC FM Recruitment recruits commercial HVAC installation professionals for mechanical contractors, building services businesses and project teams across Australia. We support employers hiring people to install air conditioning and ventilation systems on fit-outs, plant replacements and building upgrades.
Installation experience varies by project. Someone who has mainly installed packaged units on fit-outs may have a different background from someone who has worked on central plant replacements. We clarify the equipment, what the crew will install directly and where other trades or specialist contractors take over.
On a fit-out, an installer may need to coordinate with other trades sharing ceiling space and adjust to the order in which areas become available. A plant replacement in an operating building presents a different brief. The crew may need to work around agreed access hours, a limited outage window and an existing system that the site team needs back in service.
We look for candidates who can explain their contribution to a comparable project. For a supervisor, that might mean describing how they sequenced deliveries and installation around restricted access. For an installer, it could mean explaining which equipment they fitted, what they worked on independently and how they raised an issue when site conditions differed from the drawings.
If you need someone to manage the full upgrade, including the programme, contractors and handover, see Building Services Project Manager Recruitment.
Some employers need a crew to complete installation and prepare the equipment for testing by a separate commissioning team. Others want someone who can also support start-up, respond to defects and help close out the work. Confirm who owns testing and handover, what documentation the role needs to complete and how much of the job takes place outside normal site hours.
That detail is especially useful for contract hires. Knowing what will be ready on arrival, what still needs coordinating and who will supervise the work gives candidates a clearer picture of the assignment.
If you’re hiring for ongoing servicing and fault response once the equipment is in use, see Commercial HVAC Service & Maintenance Recruitment.
We support permanent recruitment for established installation teams and contract recruitment for defined packages and additional workload. If you’re hiring, speak with our team about the equipment, project stage and crew you need.
If you’re looking for a role, submit your CV. Include the equipment and systems you’ve installed, the types of sites you worked on and whether you’ve led a crew or supported testing and handover.
We recruit commercial HVAC installers, mechanical installation technicians, ductwork installers, leading hands and site supervisors.
