Fitter Pay: £18.55 per hour Location: Measham Hours: 45 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 7am-4.30pm Contract: Temp to Perm Overtime: Paid at time and a half

Our client is a leading supplier of high-quality temporary buildings, providing solutions to a diverse range of customers, including schools requiring additional classrooms, commercial businesses needing office space and construction sites requiring complete office and welfare facilities.

Pertemps are currently recruiting for an experienced Fitter to join our client's team at their Measham depot. Working as part of the internal maintenance team, you will be responsible for the regular servicing, maintenance and repair of the company's generator fleet, helping to ensure maximum availability for hire. The generators range from 25 to 100 kVA and are predominantly enclosed within service pods or welfare units.

You will also assist the depot's operational team with the maintenance and preparation of temporary buildings for delivery. This will include general installation, repair and adjustment work involving plumbing, electrical components and general fixtures and fittings.

We are keen to hear from time-served mechanics with a strong mechanical background, particularly those with experience in:

• HGV or commercial vehicle maintenance
• Plant or agricultural machinery
• Diesel engines and mechanical repairs
• Vehicle servicing and diagnostics

You do not need previous generator-specific experience to be considered for this position.

Our client recognises that the mechanical skills required to maintain generators are highly transferable from other diesel engine and mechanical backgrounds. If you are a time-served mechanic with good hands-on experience and are keen to develop your skills within generator maintenance, we would love to hear from you.

Candidates with previous generator engineering experience are also encouraged to apply.

Experience in additional trades such as joinery, plumbing or electrics would be advantageous.

The role is physically demanding and involves working outdoors, so applicants must be comfortable working in varying weather conditions.
