We are looking for a practical, hands‑on individual with a can‑do attitude and willingness to learn. The ideal candidate will be confident in their mechanical skills, capable of problem‑solving on site, and able to work independently or as part of a team. The role involves manual handling and moving larger equipment using appropriate tools, so applicants should be fit and healthy.

Due to client site requirements, security clearance will be required (UK residency for at least 2 years & clean criminal record).

Package

• £34,000+ (dependent on experience and qualifications)
• Company vehicle and fuel card
• Mobile phone, uniform, and PPE provided

  • Full UK driving licence

  Desirable (Not Essential)

  • Mechanical or plumbing qualifications
  • Health and Safety training (e.g., first aid, PASMA, IPAF)
  • Knowledge of London and the South East area

  This is an excellent opportunity to join a stable, skilled team with a contractor that values long‑term employment, professional development, and staff retention.
