Careers

At White Refrigeration, we believe that a positive work environment is the foundation of success. Our commitment to creating a workplace where people can grow, feel valued, and take pride in their work has been key to our thriving business.

“First impression, the environment’s enjoyable, you like coming to work, you like the people on the tools, the support from the office – everyone creates a culture of another family.”
Jeff Nawalu – Service Supervisor

Safety and well-being are our top priorities, and we have a dedicated Safety and HR Wellness Manager. We provide comprehensive training, maintain open communication on health and safety issues, and encourage early reporting of concerns. Our policies and practices are designed with your well-being in mind, ensuring a safe and healthy work environment for everyone.

Employee wellness is a core focus for us, with services like chiropractic care, physiotherapy, and medical insurance available. We also provide an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for additional support.

What sets us apart is our family-like atmosphere. Team members often describe White Refrigeration as more than just a workplace – it's a community where everyone gets along, works hard and has fun together. Our culture is built on openness, mutual respect, and zero tolerance for bullying or discriminatory behaviour.

“Everyone gets along, we have fun together, and we work hard.”
Rynhardt Visser – Key Account and Project Manager

We believe in empowering our employees. You'll find a refreshing level of autonomy here, with the freedom to tackle tasks in your own way. But don't worry - if you ever need support, our collaborative team is always ready to help find solutions.

“The best part of the job is I get to do what I want to do, the stuff I enjoy, and I like the freedom and autonomy. It’s refreshing not to be micro-managed. But if you stuff it up, you can talk to the team and find a solution together.”
Mike Upton – Key Account, Project and Compliance Manager

Professional growth is encouraged at White Refrigeration. We offer flexible practices and opportunities for skill development, ensuring that you can continually evolve in your career. Our leadership team maintains an open-door policy, fostering clear communication and support at all levels.

At White Refrigeration, you'll find a workplace where you're not just an employee – you're part of a family. It's a place where you'll enjoy coming to work, surrounded by friendly colleagues and a supportive environment.

Our apprenticeship scheme

We're passionate about nurturing the next generation of refrigeration and air conditioning engineers. That's why we have a thriving apprenticeship programme, with six apprentices under our wing. As each qualified apprentice graduates, we welcome a new one, ensuring a continuous talent pipeline.

“It's a company that values family and, at the same time, skills development.”
Wilson Viray – Key Account Manager and Project Manager

We've won New Zealand's top apprentice award numerous times at the prestigious Wally Askew competition. The rigorous selection process tests apprentices through written exams, practical piping exercises, and in-depth diagnostics.

Our own authorised work place assessor ensures all apprentices meet the required competency standards.

SPCA New Zealand has worked closely with White Refrigeration across a range of HVAC maintenance, compliance, repair, and project works. Throughout our engagement, Wilson, Mike, and the wider team have consistently demonstrated professionalism, strong communication, and a solutions-focused approach. What stands out is their willingness to thoroughly investigate issues, clearly explain technical findings, and work collaboratively to achieve the best outcome. Their team provides regular updates, practical recommendations, and follows through on commitments, making it easy to manage projects and maintenance activities across a diverse property portfolio. We have particularly appreciated their support on complex HVAC remediation works, preventative maintenance planning, and their proactive approach to identifying potential issues before they become larger problems. Thank you to the White Refrigeration team for your ongoing support. We look forward to continuing to work together in the future.

I work with Whites in a commercial capacity, they are punctual and professional, often helping us out in a pickle. Their pricing is more than fair. I would highly recommend using Whites.

From the initial call to the job completion they kept me informed. The cost was what they said which was good compared to other prices. I highly recommend them
