Refrigeration engineer cover letter example

Refrigeration employers read the letter quickly. They want to see your certifications, the type of installations you know and whether you accept travel and on-call duty.

A short, factual letter does the job. Mention the region you can cover as well.

Cover letter example

Replace the parts in brackets with your own details.

Subject: Application: Refrigeration Technician, [City] area

Dear [Manager Name],

Your offer for a refrigeration technician in the [City] area matches what I have done for [x] years in commercial refrigeration: installing and repairing cold rooms, display cases and condensing units for supermarkets, restaurants and food shops.

I hold the category I attestation d'aptitude for refrigerant handling and electrical clearance. On site, I braze, pressure test, pull a vacuum and commission installations, and I set controllers from Danfoss and Carel. During on-call rotations I handle breakdowns alone: last winter I traced a recurring alarm on a cold room to a faulty pressure switch that had already been replaced twice with the wrong model.

I am attentive to the regulatory side of the job: leak checks, fluid recovery and records in the logbook. More and more of my clients ask about replacing old installations, and I have started working on CO2 systems, which I understand your company installs regularly.

I hold a B driving licence, live within easy reach of [City] and already work on an on-call rotation, so your schedule would not be new to me.

Kind regards,[First Name Last Name][Phone]

Frequently asked questions

Is a cover letter really needed for a technician job?

Many contractors hire on CV and phone call, but a short letter helps when the role is in demand or when you are changing region. It also shows you can write a clear intervention report, which is part of the job.

How do I present a career change in refrigeration?

Explain the training you followed, the certifications obtained and what your previous job brings, such as electrical skills or customer contact. Mention your work-study placement or internships in refrigeration in detail.

Should I mention salary expectations?

Not in the letter. Discuss pay during the interview, where on-call allowances, a company vehicle and travel expenses also matter. These elements vary a lot between contractors and change the overall package.
