Job Title: Cold Chain Technical Specialist – Reefer Containers & Cold Storage
Location: Mumbai (HQ)
Experience: 6–12 years in Cold Chain Design, Refrigeration Systems, and Reefer Infrastructure
About the Role:
- Crystal is redefining cold chain infrastructure through modular, plug-and-play reefer containers and cold storage systems. We're hiring a Cold Chain Technical Specialist who can go beyond support — someone who can design, deploy, and optimize cold chain systems tailored to pharma, food, and agri use cases.
- You'll work across Sales, BD, and Operations to deliver solutions that are technically robust, compliant, and cost-effective — with a strong focus on refrigeration systems, IoT monitoring, and temperature-critical logistics.
Key Responsibilities: FunctionWhat You'll Drive
- Solution Design & Deployment : Lead the design and customization of reefer container and cold storage solutions for client-specific needs.
- Technical Pre-Sales Support : Support BD/sales teams with technical validation, site fitment, temperature feasibility, and compliance specs.
- Refrigeration & Monitoring Systems: Integrate and optimize cooling units (Carrier, Thermo King, Daikin), backup systems, and IoT temp tracking.
- Compliance & QA Standards : Ensure all systems meet GDP, HACCP, and thermal mapping standards for pharma/food logistics.
- Client-Facing Tech Advisor: Be the technical POC during client discussions — explain specs, solve objections, and build trust through expertise.
- Project Execution Support: Coordinate technical handoff to ops for smooth deployment. Validate performance post-installation.
- Risk & Maintenance Planning: Design preventive maintenance strategies, alarm systems, and fail-safe backups to reduce risk and downtime.
Must-Have Skills & Experience:
- 6–12 years in cold chain, reefer container systems, or industrial refrigeration
- Proven experience in designing & deploying containerized cold chain or cold room systems
- Deep working knowledge of:
- Refrigeration components (compressors, evaporators, thermostats, sensors)
- Refrigerants (R404a, R134a, R452a)
- Container insulation (PUF panels, heat leakage mitigation)
- IoT monitoring (data loggers, remote monitoring platforms, alerts)
- Strong understanding of GDP, HACCP, and pharma/food logistics requirements
- Comfortable in client-facing discussions and collaborating with BD, sales, and ops
- Able to create and present technical documentation and solution blueprints
Ideal Candidate:
- Degree/Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Refrigeration Tech, or Cold Chain Systems
- Hands-on with reefer containers, portable cold storage, and custom temp-control builds
- Can speak confidently to both technical depth and operational feasibility
- Has run successful cold chain projects — from design to execution and performance validation
Why This Role Matters:
Clients trust us with temperature-sensitive cargo. One failure = ruined stock, lost business, and reputational damage. You are the shield — making sure what we sell works exactly as promised, every time.
