Job description

PLANT FITTER - MIDLANDS

Pay: £22 per hour +

Role Type: Field Service

Equipment: Dumpers, diggers, telehandlers, excavators

About the Role

We're looking for a Plant Fitter who's ready to roam the Midlands in a service van stocked with tools, three sizes of hammers, and that one part you've been carrying around for months "just in case."

A typical day may include

• Turning up to site and discovering the machine is nowhere near where they said
• Diagnosing faults described as "it makes a noise, you'll hear it when it does it"
• Explaining that telehandlers do, in fact, need servicing before they break
• Replacing hoses that look older than the site itself
• Repairing kit while the operator insists "it was working perfectly yesterday"

What You'll Need

• Experience working on dumpers, diggers, telehandlers, and excavators
• Strong hydraulic fault-finding abilities (and an even stronger stomach)
• Tools that haven't all mysteriously disappeared
• Willingness to work outdoors in conditions described as "character building"
• Ability to retrieve dropped bolts from the only puddle on site

What You'll Get

• £22 p/h+
• A service van with a rattle no engineer before you has ever solved
• PPE provided (the good gloves are subject to availability)
• Freedom to mutter "who fitted this last?" at least twice a day
• The joy of resurrecting machinery that absolutely should have been greased

To apply for this role, please send your CV to (url removed) or call (phone number removed) for more information.

If this role would not be of interest to you but may be a suitable friend or colleague, we can offer paid referral fees for successful placements.
