Work with us
Learn the trade on commercial plant, or bring your ticket and run your own jobs. DC Air takes on apprentices and qualified people across Queensland.
Apprenticeships
A refrigeration and air conditioning apprenticeship is a four-year trade. You work on site with a licensed mechanic and study for the Certificate III in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration with a registered training organisation.
On the tools from the start
Installing, brazing, pressure testing and commissioning under supervision, on commercial and large residential jobs.
Licensed supervision
You hold an ARCtick trainee licence and handle refrigerant only alongside a licensed technician.
Block training
Time off the job for your Certificate III, with what you learn there put to use on site.
School leavers and adults
We consider school leavers, mature-age starters and people moving across from another trade.
Qualified roles
Full-time roles for licensed people who want commercial work done properly.
We keep expressions of interest on file for these roles.

- Commercial experience
- For qualified roles: hands-on time with VRV and VRF, chillers, ducted systems, controls and large installations.
- Standards and compliance
- A working knowledge of Australian Standards and Queensland requirements for mechanical services, or the will to learn them.
- Work ethic
- Reliable, punctual, and committed to doing the job right the first time. We don't cut corners and neither should you.
