About The Role
Based in our National Service team and reporting directly to the Unit Quality Manager, the Unit Quality In-House Technician serves as the technical anchor for our warranty evaluation and continuous product improvement processes.

Your Core Responsibilities
* Technical Diagnostics: Inspecting and testing returned HVAC parts (such as compressors, PCBs, fan motors, and valves) to determine precise mechanical and electrical faults.
* Warranty Verification: Assessing failure causes to verify warranty eligibility, clearly distinguishing between manufacturing defects and external factors like installation faults, misuse, or environmental damage.
* Evidence Management: Recording findings with clear, auditable evidence, including photos, technical notes, and internal system records.
* Logistical Supervision: Managing the end‐to‐end handling of returned parts, covering receipt, physical inspection, and ultimate disposition.
* Feedback Loops: Escalating confirmed product defects to internal engineering and supplier quality teams and providing detailed technical evidence to support supplier recovery processes.

* A formal Trade Qualification in Refrigeration & Air Conditioning.
* A minimum of 3–5 years of practical experience in HVAC service, diagnostics, or technical repair.
* Strong hands‐on knowledge of HVAC systems, with a proven ability to diagnose faults across complex mechanical and electrical systems using testing equipment.
* A solid understanding of warranty frameworks, failure classification, and the ability to clearly communicate technical findings to internal managers and external stakeholders.
* Prior experience working with Daikin Air Conditioning products is highly desirable.
Benefits
* Collaborative work environment fostering a positive team culture.
* Competitive Hourly Rate + Superannuation + Fully Maintained Company Car
* Provided with on‐the‐job training for continuous career growth opportunities
