Working Hours: 45

Job Category: Plant Engineering & Maintenance

PlantFix UK is here — and it’s changing the game.

If you’re a skilled Mobile Plant Engineer who’s thought about going out on your own – but don’t fancy the risk, the paperwork or chasing invoices – this might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

At PlantFix UK, our engineers work with the freedom and autonomy of an independent , but with the backing, salary and security of a national group.

What makes a PlantFix Engineer different?

You’re treated like the owner of your own mini business.

• Paid door-to-door, WEEKLY – no waiting for month-end.
• SALARIED role – if work ‘slows down’, you’re still paid.
• No unnecessary workshop jobs to fill the day when it’s quiet – instead, you return to a sensible central point (usually home) and await the next job.
• You control your van – you manage your own stock, keep it replenished and set yourself up to work efficiently.
• You solve problems your way – whether that’s using your experience, working with our team, or speaking directly to manufacturers and dealers.

In short, you get the freedom of self-employment without staking your savings on starting up.

• Maintain accurate, clear records of the work you’ve done.
• Represent PlantFix with professionalism and pride

You’ll work closely with the Divisional Director and the wider Typrefix Group, having a real voice in how PlantFix grows.

What’s in it for you

• Weekly pay
• Bonus and incentive schemes
• Company van + fuel card from day one
• Specialist tooling and diagnostic kit supplied
• Uniform & PPE provided
• A genuinely supportive , down-to-earth team
• Training and development as the division expands

What you’ll bring

• Experience as a Mobile Plant Engineer / Plant Fitter / Plant Technician / Plant Mechanic
• NVQ Level 2/3 in Plant Maintenance or Engineering (or equivalent)
• Experience with excavators, dumpers, rollers, telehandlers, etc.

• Self-motivated and comfortable working with minimal supervision.
• Confident , professional manner with strong communication skills.
• Strong awareness of Health & Safety and pride in doing a job right.
