Ryen Imrie:
Ryen Imrie is a 23 year old chiller and data technician employed at Airvision.
He joined the company straight out of school. In fact Ryen was one of the lucky ones because his father was already working in the industry.
This meant his father was able to organise work experience for Ryen at Airvision.
He has completed his apprenticeship and wants to continue working with chillers for a few more years.
“There is still more to learn,” he said. “There is never a dull day in this trade because this type of work is always challenging. There are also a lot of options to keep it interesting from installation work to repairs or services.”
Darcy Sexton:
Airvision technician, Darcy Sexton, is happy to let everyone know that refrigeration and air conditioning is the best of all trades.
The 23-year-old chiller technician enjoyed his apprenticeship from day one. Darcy heard about the trade through family friends and was drawn to how varied each day can be.
“It encompasses so many things, I could be brazing copper one day, doing electrical work the next and then another day I could be on a laptop analysing data,” he said.
“There is a lot of thinking involved and it definitely keeps you busy.”
Darcy has encouraged his girlfriend’s younger brother to take up the trade.
“I am so glad I work with chillers that’s the best part of the job,” he said.
Aedan Whyte:
Aedan Whyte became a chiller technician by default. “I had applied for a pre-apprentice plumbing course at TAFE but there were no places left so a family friend suggested refrigeration and air conditioning,” he said.
“When I was in high school I didn’t even know this trade existed and initially I thought it was just some kind of handyman job.”
Today the 22 year old is glad he discovered such a great trade, even though it was by accident. “This trade definitely needs a higher profile because it is such a great job, it is a mix of all trades,” he said.
“I enjoy fabrication, pipe work, fixing a leak, just being able to fix a problem on the spot.” Aedan has completed his apprenticeship and is currently employed at Airvision in Western Australia.
