Refrigeration / Air Conditioning Technician
Join Polar AC as we expand beyond aircon cleaning (this is not a cleaning role)
About Us
Polar AC started out specialising in professional aircon cleaning across Darwin and has built a strong name for quality and reliability. We're now taking the next step — rebranding as Polar AC Pty Ltd and growing into a full air-conditioning and refrigeration business, covering residential installs, repairs and light commercial work.
This isn't a cleaning position. Your focus will be on the technical and supervisory side as we build the new service division.
