About the role We are looking for a qualified Mechanical Engineer / Technician / Fitter with a minimum of three years’ experience to join our team working on materials-handling and heavy-plant applications.

Proven experience with hydraulics – servicing, fault‑finding and repair. Strong mechanical aptitude – comfortable working on heavy‑duty equipment. Basic electrical knowledge is an advantage (e.g., wiring, control circuits, sensors). Good communication skills, able to work independently and as part of a team. Flexibility to travel to customer sites and work off‑site when required. Proactive approach and commitment to safety. Full, clean driving licence. What we offer Competitive Salary based on proven experience and qualifications. 22 days annual holiday. Additional holiday day on your birthday.
