This FIFO opportunity in the Pacific Islands offers experienced HVAC Technicians / Air Conditioning Technicians a different way to work, earn and live.
Tradestaff Global is seeking Expressions of Interest from qualified and experienced HVAC Technicians / Air Conditioning Technicians for upcoming construction projects across remote Pacific Island locations.
Some opportunities may come up quickly, while others may be planned further in advance. We are building a strong pool of reliable, experienced tradespeople who are ready to move when the right project kicks off.
THE ROLE:
You’ll be working on remote island commercial construction projects, carrying out a range of HVAC and air conditioning work that may include:
- Installation of commercial air conditioning systems
- Ducting installation, plant setup and system commissioning
- Fit-off of HVAC systems across new build projects
- Maintenance and servicing of existing systems
- Fault finding, diagnostics and repairs
- Working alongside multi-trade teams in remote, logistically challenging environments
THE OPPORTUNITY:
These are FIFO-style deployments where you will work full-time on site during your rotation, then return home for extended breaks between swings.
Final schedules are still to be confirmed, however rotation options may include:
- 4 weeks on / 2 weeks off
- 4 weeks on / 1 week off
- 3 weeks on / 3 weeks off
WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT:

- Get stuck into home projects and renovations
- Go fishing, surfing or travelling
- Be around for school holidays, camps, drop-offs and pick-ups
- Properly reset between work swings
