Job Brief:

Our client is seeking a Business Development Manager – Refrigerant Recovery with strong existing exposure to the UAE HVAC, refrigeration, facilities management, district cooling, and/or related markets.

The core objective of the role is to build and activate relationships with HVAC contractors, facilities management companies, refrigeration companies, HVAC OEM/service organizations, district cooling companies, and other relevant businesses across the UAE to generate the maximum possible volume of recoverable refrigerant for the company's projects.
