Job description

Plant Engineer - £45,000 to £50,000 - Dorset

Heavy Plant Company Seeking Ex-REME Talent

If you're a REME engineer who's spent years keeping complex machinery running under pressure, this is the career move designed for you.

You already know how to diagnose faults faster than most people can find the on/off switch. You've kept equipment operating in conditions no manufacturer would ever approve of. Now imagine what you can do with modern kit, stable hours, and a company that genuinely values your expertise.

This role isn't about starting from scratch. It's about transferring the skills you already have into a position where they're recognised, rewarded, and put to use on a fleet of well-maintained heavy plant equipment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Servicing, maintaining and repairing heavy plant equipment
• Carrying out diagnostics and fault-finding
• Working with a supportive engineering team that trusts your judgement
• Ensuring machinery uptime without the pressure of operational deployments

What You’ll Gain

• A competitive salary of £45,000 to £50,000
• Consistent working hours and real work‑life balance
• Ongoing training and development where needed
• A long‑term role with a respected, growing business

Why REME Engineers Fit This Role Perfectly

Because you’ve already mastered hydraulics, electrics, engines, diagnostics and problem‑solving under conditions that most civvy engineers will never experience. In this role, those skills translate directly and you’ll finally have the environment and support to use them fully.

Take the Next Step

If you’re ready to move into a stable, rewarding plant engineering role in Dorset, apply now. Your experience is exactly what we’re looking for.
