With over 40 years of industry experience, our client is a specialist in the design and construction sector, with an established reputation for delivering high-quality solutions. The business is committed to investing in and developing its people, providing excellent opportunities for employees to progress and build long-term careers.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Mobile Plant Fitter to join the team, covering sites across England and Wales. While overnight stays are occasionally required, these are infrequent.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the manufacture, modification, maintenance and repair of a wide range of plant, equipment and ancillaries, ensuring the company's fleet remains safe, reliable and in excellent working condition.

Benefits for the role of Plant Fitter:

• Highly competitive Salary and can be discussed at interview
• Weekly Pay
• Door-to-door pay when travelling directly to site
• 41.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday
• 22 days' annual leave plus 8 Bank Holidays and Christmas shutdown
• Company pension scheme – employer contribution of 3%, with employees contributing 4%
• Overtime opportunities
• Life assurance of 4x annual salary
• Company van provided

Key Duties

• Reading and interpreting engineering drawings to carry out manufacturing and modification work to the required specification
• Diagnosing faults and carrying out maintenance and repairs on heavy-duty construction plant and associated hydraulic systems
• Attending customer sites to undertake breakdown repairs, servicing and general maintenance when required
• Using a range of appropriate hand and power tools to complete maintenance, repair and fabrication tasks
• Carrying out welding and fabrication work as required
• Ensuring all work is completed to a high standard and in accordance with relevant health and safety requirements

• previous experience working with heavy plant or construction equipment
• Strong fault-finding, maintenance and repair experience
