Job Description

This is a hands-on position where you'll be at the sharp end of mechanical fitting-whether that's welding and fabrication on-site, fault-finding on large-scale machinery, or installing and aligning bespoke plant modules.

Why Join Us?

  • Career growth & training - we invest in people, with structured progression, multi-skilling opportunities, and ongoing training.

  • Family-run culture - supportive team values, long-term stability, and a sense of pride in delivering industry-leading service.

  • Diverse work - one day you could be installing a batching plant, the next fault-finding on quarry screening equipment.

  • Security & benefits - competitive salary, enhanced overtime, pension, and holiday schemes, plus access to employee support programmes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out installation, breakdown, and defect repairs on heavy plant and quarry equipment.

  • Support mechanical fitting and assembly for new builds, refurbishments, and site modifications.

  • Perform plant inspections, planned maintenance, and safety checks in line with company and industry standards.

  • Fault find, diagnose, and resolve issues efficiently to reduce downtime.

  • Carry out welding, burning, cutting, and grinding when required.

  • Work flexibly across multiple sites, supporting installation teams and site operations.

  • Ensure all duties are completed in line with health & safety policies and environmental standards.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience in mechanical fitting/maintenance of heavy earthmoving machinery, crushers, screening plants, and batching systems.

  • Familiarity with plant from manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Volvo, Komatsu, and similar is advantageous.

  • Strong ability to read and interpret technical drawings.

  • Skilled in welding and metalwork (MIG/TIG/Arc desirable).

  • Problem-solving mindset with the ability to deliver timely, cost-effective solutions.

  • Flexibility to adapt to site demands and work occasional extended hours.

  • Team player with strong communication skills and a safety-first approach.

What You'll Get in Return

  • Competitive base salary with enhanced overtime rates.

  • 30 days annual leave, plus holiday purchase scheme.

  • Company pension and employee discounts.

  • Structured career development and internal progression opportunities.

  • Long-term stability in a growing, family-oriented company with over 70 years' expertise in industrial engineering and quarry equipment.
